wodSFTP API library - LoopFiles Method
      
 

Description

Loops through multiple files in a sequence, recursive, giving their names.


Return type

A Long value. If successful, 0 is returned, otherwise error as specified here.  


Syntax

long Sftp_LoopFiles(void *Sftp, char * RemotePath, int MaxLevel);

The LoopFiles function syntax has these parts:

Part Description
void *Sftp Handle of the created Sftp instance.
char *RemotePath Holds full path on the server from where to start enumerating files and folders.
int MaxLevel Specifies maximum number of subdirectory levels to access. 0 for unlimited.

Remarks

This function will just loop through all folders and files on specified RemotePath, and call LoopItem callback for each file/folder it finds - allowing you to save it (for example, in local collection) and then use later for various file/folder operations. wodSFTP will not do anything with those items by itself! Since LoopItem will provide full paths to those files, it is easy to use those paths later on with GetFile, GetData, PutFile, DeleteFile (etc.) operations.

If you want to download all those files (and create appropriate directory structure locally) you should use GetFiles function instead.

Do not forget that RemotePath should always specify full absolute path (i.e. /home/joe/something) instead of relative path (i.e. joe/something).
