Downloading files using patters is a unique feature of our FTP .NET component<\/a>. It allows you fast download of files of certain types.<\/p>\n

Here’s the sample that download all text files (*.txt) files from remote Uploads folder to Downloads folder located on C drive. Remote search includes all child folders recursively<\/strong> – note the true<\/em> parameter in RemoteSearchOptions<\/em> constructor. Ftp component is going to create all necessary folders<\/strong> on the local computer.<\/p>\n

Download using wildcard pattern<\/h2>\n
\r\n\/\/ C#\r\n\r\nusing (Ftp ftp = new Ftp())\r\n{\r\n    ftp.Connect("ftp.example.com");    \/\/ or ConnectSSL\r\n    \r\n    Directory.CreateDirectory(@"c:\\Downloads");\r\n\r\n    RemoteSearchOptions options = new RemoteSearchOptions("*.txt", true);\r\n    ftp.DownloadFiles("Uploads", @"c:\\Downloads", options);\r\n\r\n    ftp.Close();\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
\r\n' VB.NET\r\n\r\nUsing ftp As New Ftp()\r\n    ftp.Connect("ftp.example.com")    ' or ConnectSSL\r\n\r\n    Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\\Downloads")\r\n    \r\n    Dim options As RemoteSearchOptions = _\r\n        New RemoteSearchOptions("*.txt", True)\r\n    ftp.DownloadFiles("Uploads", "c:\\Downloads", options)\r\n\r\n    ftp.Close()\r\nEnd Using\r\n<\/pre>\n
Download using regex pattern<\/h2>\n
You can also use RemoteSearchOptions.UseRegexMatch<\/em> method, if you want to use regex patterns<\/strong> on remote names:<\/p>\n
