How to download files from remote server?

[JeffWong16]

Hi, I try to download files from remote server using below codes

conn.src('/home/jeff/test/**').pipe(gulp.dest('./test')));

But it alwalys tells me that it failed to open file. Is my code right?

[AnsonYeung]

I have the same problem either. Did exactly same as yours. conn.src("/public_html/*.php").pipe(gulp.dest("./test")); and it failed to open the file.

If I use this code instead conn.src("/public_html/*.php") It only throw error in the first file, and seems no error in the subsequent ones?

After running the test script I get this:

> vinyl-ftp@0.6.1 test C:\Users\secur\Downloads\vinyl-ftp-master\vinyl-ftp-master
> set CONFIG=test/config/myserver.json&& istanbul cover node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha test

I also have a problem with downloading. In my case the upload folder from a wordpress installation:

gulp.task("importUploads", function(done) {
    var conn = ftp.create(ftpCredentials);
  conn
    .src(['/wp-content/uploads/**/*'])
    .pipe(gulp.dest(distFolder + 'wp-content/uploads/'));
  done();
});

The */ pattern doesn't match all files. I only get a 2018/06 uploads folder with less actual content than remote. So many folders and files are missing seemingly at random?

In the output it "senses" some of the folders that are skipped:

[20:06:25] MLSD  /wp-content/uploads/2018/09
[20:06:25] READY
[20:06:25] MLSD  /wp-content/uploads/2018/08

Thanks!
