      Download(String, String) Method

      See AlsoMembers Options: Show AllLanguage Filter: AllSend comments on this topic to ComponentPro
      Downloads the specified remote file or directory hierarchy on the server to the specified local directory. This method only downloads the items in the specified directory if the remotePath parameter does not end with a directory separator (e.g. '/'). To also create the directory in the destination, add a directory separator character at the end of that parameter.

      Syntax

      public FileSystemTransferStatistics Download(
         string remotePath, 
         string localPath
      )

      Parameters

      remotePath
      The path and name of the remote file or 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. If this value ends with a directory separator character like '/' or '\', the containing directory will also be downloaded. For example, if "/folder/" is used, files and subdirectories of "folder" directory and itself will be downloaded; the destination directory will contain "folder" directory and its contents. Attention: some servers may be case-sensitive!
      localPath
      The path of the local directory to receive files from the server.

      Examples

      using (Ftp ftp = new Ftp())
      {
          // Connect to the FTP server. 
          ftp.Connect("localhost");
      
          // Authenticate. 
          ftp.Authenticate("test", "test");
      
          ftp.Download(
              "/data/*.txt", // The remote dir on the FTP server containing files and folders to download. TXT files will be downloaded. 
              @"c:\dest" // The local directory. 
              );
      
          ftp.Download(
              "/data", // All files and subdirectories in "/data" will be downloaded. 
              @"C:\dest2" // The directory on the local disk. 
              );
      }
