SFTP Upload - Synchronize Directory Tree

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload files to synchronize a local directory tree with a remote directory tree. The SyncTreeUpload method recursively descends a local directory tree and uploads files based on existence, last-mod date/time and/or size differences. 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;
    }

    // Synchronize (by uploading) the local directory tree rooted at "qa_data/sftpUploadTree"
    // with the remote directory tree rooted at "syncUploadTest"
    // 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 remote_dir = "syncUploadTest";
    const local_dir = "qa_data/sftpUploadTree";

    // Possible modes that can be passed to the SyncTreeUpload method are:
    // mode=0: Upload all files
    // mode=1: Upload all files that do not exist on the server.
    // mode=2: Upload newer or non-existant files.
    // mode=3: Upload only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the server, it is not uploaded.
    // mode=4: transfer missing files or files with size differences.
    // mode=5: same as mode 4, but also newer files.

    // This example will use mode 5 to upload missing, newer, or files with size differences.
    const mode = 5;
    // This example turns on recursion to synchronize the entire tree.
    // Recursion can be turned off to synchronize the files of a single directory.
    const recursive = true;
    sftp.syncTreeUpload(local_dir, remote_dir, mode, recursive) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sftp.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

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