SFTP Synchronize Directory Tree - Download

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to download files to synchronize a local directory tree with a remote directory tree. The SyncTreeDownload method recursively descends the remote directory tree and downloads files based on existence, last-mod date/time and/or size differences. Unicode C++

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

    success = sftp.Connect(L"my-ssh-server.com",22);
    if (success == true) {
        success = sftp.AuthenticatePw(L"mySshLogin",L"mySshPassword");

    // Synchronize the remote directory tree rooted at "syncDownloadTest/xml"
    // with the local directory tree rooted at "qa_output"
    // Both directories are relative paths.  The remote directory
    // is relative to the HOME directory of the SSH user account.
    // The local directory is relative to the current working directory of the process.
    // It is also possible to use absolute paths.

    const wchar_t *remoteDir = L"syncDownloadTest/xml";
    const wchar_t *localDir = L"qa_output";

    // Possible modes that can be passed to the SyncTreeDownload method are:
    // mode=0: Download all files
    // mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
    // mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
    // mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
    // mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
    // mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.
    // mode=99: Do not download files, but instead delete remote files that do not exist locally.

    // This example will use mode 6 to download missing, newer, or files with size differences.
    int mode = 6;
    // This example will turn on recursion to synchronize the entire tree. 
    // Recursion can be turned off to synchronize the files of a single directory.
