Demonstrates how to download files in a directory matching one or more patterns (such as "*.zip" or "abc*_*0719.csv". Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# The SyncTreeDownload method can be used non-recursively to download all files matching a set of patterns.

# This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
# that match *.csv and *.eml
