SynchronizeDownloadWithDeleteAsync(String,String,Boolean,Object,List<String>) Method

Transfer files that do not exist locally asynchronously OR Files that have a different byte count OR Files that have a modification date difference in seconds greater than 60. The hour difference between the local machine and the FTP server is taken into account when CalcHourDifference has been called. By default all files and sub directories are attempted to be synchronized. Local files and directories will be deleted if they do not exist in the corresponding FTP directory.

ftp.UserName = "anonymous"; // replace with your user name
ftp.Password = "user@mail.com"; // replace with your password
 
//Only synchronize files in the specified directory, do not do sub directories
ftp.SynchronizeDownloadWithDeleteAsync("TestDir", "C:\\Download", false);
 
while (ftp.IsBusy == true)
