Receive multiple files (or an entire directory structure) from the FTP server.
This method will attempt to receive all remote files that match the path and file mask specified by the sRemoteFileMask parameter. See Wildcards . The files that end up being received are placed in the local folder specified by the sLocalFolder parameter.
The remote file mask can be relative to the FTP server’s current working folder , or be an absolute path on the remote system.
For each folder scanned for matching files, the ScanningFolder event is triggered. For each file that matches the file mask, the FileMatched event is triggered. When the scanning for matching phase is completed, the ReceivingFile is triggered right before each file is received. Handlers for the ReceivingFile event can rename or relocate each file being downloaded on a case-by-case basis. Once each file is being received, the FileTransferStatus event is triggered for each data packet received over the network.
This method can only be used when the CurrentState property's value is fcsConnected.
