SFTP Download Files Matching a Pattern

See more SFTP Examples

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

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    var success: bool = false;

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

    const sftp = try chilkat.SFtp.init();
    defer sftp.deinit();

    success = if (sftp.connect("my-ssh-server.com", 22)) true else |_| false;
    if (success) {
        success = if (sftp.authenticatePw("mySshLogin", "mySshPassword")) true else |_| false;
    }

    if (success) {
        success = if (sftp.initializeSftp()) true else |_| false;
    }

    if (!success) {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    }

    // 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
    sftp.setSyncMustMatch("*.eml; *.gif");

    const remote_dir = "syncDownloadTest/someDir";
    const local_dir = "qa_output";

    // mode=0: Download all matching files according to SyncMustMatch
    const mode = 0;

    // do not recursively traverse the remote directory tree.
    const recursive = false;

    sftp.syncTreeDownload(remote_dir, local_dir, mode, recursive) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("Success.\n", .{});
