Yes, that's correct and by design.

if the ftp directory ends without the "/*" then all the files will be downloaded but the folder will be removed along with the files.

When getting files from directory "outgoing" all the files are removed (expected) and the "outgoing" directory is deleted (unexpected).

transferResult = session.GetFiles(ftpDirectory, dataDir, true, transferOptions);

Is this the normal behavior?

I am executing this code in an SSIS script.

Thanks.
