DownloadWithPath (skip paths)

function DownloadWithPath(what, toWhere: string, skip: number): boolean

The DownloadWithPath function download the file(s) specified in the what parameter (supports wildcards) to the toWhere destination directory on the local computer, retaining the path of the original file and recreating it if necessary.

The skip parameter is an integer number that instructs the function to skip the first skip directories of the original path when rebuilding it into the destination path.

Attention

This function is not recursive, therefore when using wildcards, this function will not upload matching files from sub-directories of the directory specified in the what parameter. For a recursive version of this function see the DownloadWithPathR function.

Example:

{
  var scli = new SftpClient();
  scli.Host = 'your.sftpserver.com:22';
  scli.User = 'someusername';
  scli.KeyFile = './my_id.rsa';
  if (scli.Connect()) {
    // downloads files to /archive/data/docs
    scli.DownloadWithPath('./data/docs/*.docx', '/archive', 0);
    // ...
    // skip=1 means downloads files to /archive/docs
    scli.DownloadWithPath('./data/docs/*.docx', '/archive', 1);
    // ...
    scli.Close();
  }
  scli = null
