Behavior of mget

Question

I wanted to understand how the mget( localDir, filter) method of SSHFTPClient behaves.
Does the total number of files on the remote server matter even if the one matching the filter provided are few.

Our problem is that we were trying to look for *.tif files and the application is throwing out of memory heaps as soon as we start the process to get the files. There are a huge number of *.tif.bak files on the remote server, do you think that may be causing this issue.

I do understand that a detailed debug level log might get the correct answer but I just wanted to know if this was a known issue or should not impact at all.

Answer 1

Not sure. *.tif should exclude *.tif.bak, otherwise it's a bug. Best to email us a zipped log file at debug level.

Answer 2

I had a further look at the code. If you aren't doing recursive listings, then I've made a change that should optimize things ... please email support at enterprisedt dot com for a build.
