Send_Multiple_Types.s
It is easy to use SENDFILE "*.pdf" or perhaps RCVFILE "*.xml" to transfer all the files of a particular type, but what if you want to send both "*.pdf" and "*.xml"? Robo-FTP supports multiple wildcard specifications seperated by the pipe symbol "|". You can use SENDFILE to accomplish this goal quite easily.
This example uploads only files where the last four characters of the file name are .pdf and .xml but, with a few modifications, you could change or add file types or even convert this example into a download script.
