Parameters

remotePath

The path and name of the remote directory where the files will be downloaded to the local folder. When the parameter remoteFilesToTransfer is a null reference, this parameter can include filtering masks to limit the files that are downloaded. For example, if ""(empty string) is specified, the entire contents of the current folder will be downloaded. If "*.txt" is used, all the files in the current folder that have the .TXT extension will be downloaded. If "/mydir/*.dat;*.cs,*.vb" is used (masks are delimited by ',', ';', and '|' characters), files with the DAT, CS, or VB extension in "/mydir" will be downloaded. If no masks specified, the whole content of the remote directory should be downloaded. The final search condition depends on the SearchCondition and SearchConditionCombinedWithMasksInSourcePath settings of the options parameter. Attention: some servers may be case-sensitive!

includeBaseDirectory

Indicates whether the containing directory should also be created in the destination directory. For example: Download("/MyDir/*.txt", true, null, "/ZipDir" ...) - if this parameter is true, "MyDir" is created in "ZipDir" and all files and dirs within "MyDir" are copied to "ZipDir/MyDir"; otherwise false, "MyDir" is not created in "ZipDir", only files and subdirectories within "MyDir" are copied to "ZipDir".

remoteFilesToTransfer

The list of files and directories to download, or a null reference to transfer files in the remotePath that match the search condition specified in the options parameter. This list can contain String and FileInfoBase objects. (e.g. Download("", false, new string[] {"file1", "file2", "dir1" }...) or Download("", false, new object[] {"file1", fileInfo1, fileInfo2 }...))

localPath

The path of the local directory on the disk file system to receive files from the remote server.

options

The transfer options object which provides many settings to control the file transfer process.
