PutMultipleFiles Method  
 

Transfer multiple files from the local system to the server.

Syntax

object.PutMultipleFiles( LocalPath, RemotePath, [FileMask], [Reserved] )

Parameters

LocalPath
A string argument which specifies the name of the directory on the local system where the files will be copied from. You must have permission to read the contents of the directory.
RemotePath
A string argument which specifies the name of the directory on the server where the files will be stored. You must have permission to modify the contents of the directory and create files.
FileMask
An optional string argument which specifies the wildcard mask to be used when selecting what files should be transferred. If this argument is omitted, the value of the FileMask property will be used. The default value of an empty string indicates that all files in the specified directory should be uploaded. Typically, this argument is a wildcard mask that limits the files uploaded to the server to those which match a specific extension. For example, to upload only those files that end in a ".dat" extension, the argument could be specified as "*.dat"
Reserved
An argument reserved for future expansion. This argument should always be omitted or specified as a numeric value of zero.

Return Value

A value of zero is returned if the operation was successful, otherwise a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the cause of the failure.

Remarks

The PutMultipleFiles method copies multiple files from the local system to the server. If the remote file already exists, it is overwritten. This method will cause the current thread to block until all of the files have been transferred, a timeout occurs or the transfer is canceled. During the transfer, the OnProgress event will fire periodically, enabling the application to update any user interface objects such as a progress bar.
