FTP mget in Indy TIdFTP?

[CHeighlund]

Does anyone know whether or not the Indy component TIdFTP supports the mget ftp command? The normal 'get' method doesn't seem to want to work with wildcards, and I need the wildcard ability; the files I'm supposed to be retrieving will have a timestamp as part of their names, and I'm not going to know in advance what that timestamp is.

Again, does anyone know whether or not the TIdFTP component can support the mget ftp command? Or, alternately, does anyone know of another FTP component that supports this method?

Thank you for your consideration.

I ran into the same problem in developing my SFTP app. I couldn't find an mGet solution in the Indy 10 files either, and if there is it may take me years to find it. This code should get you on track for your own mGet:

[b]vars:[/b]
fList : tStringList;
exList: TStringList;
gStr : string; [b]//this could be *.zip, *.?xt, etc.[/b]
DirList: TIdFTPListItems;
=========================

      fList := tStringList.create;
      FTP.List(fList, gStr, False);
      DirList := FTP.DirectoryListing;
      for h:=0 to fList.Count-1 do begin
          if (fList.strings[h]<>'.') and (fList.strings[h]<>'..') then begin
              exList.add(fList.strings[h]); // [b]Main stringList you want to work with[/b]
                                            // [b]Issue Get for each file in a FOR loop with exList[/b]
          end;
      end;
      fList.free;

Dirty, yes very dirty, but it works very well.
