Parameters

remotePath

The path and name of the remote directory where the files will be downloaded to the local folder. 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. 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, "/ZipDir", true) - 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".

localPath

The path of the local directory to receive files from the server.

recursive

A boolean value indicating whether to includes the source directory and all its subdirectories in the transfer operation.

fileExistsAction

Specifies the action taken on existing files.

symlinksResolveAction

Specifies the action taken on symlinks.
