Re: Unable to download the file to a local directory.

You need to add trailing backslash to the destination folder path.

Unable to download the file to a local directory.

Hi All,

We recently started using Winscp and based on the sample scripts available at winscp.com, we have coded the following script to pull the file from one of our vendors



option batch on

option confirm off
open sftp://<<user>>@<<server>>:22 -privatekey=<<private key>>
ls
get "some file.*" E:\DATA\WorkingFiles\folder
close
exit

After this, I'm running the above script using

E:\APPS\WINSCP\WINSCP\WINSCP.EXE /CONSOLE /SCRIPT=E:\APPS\SCRIPTS\sample.TXT /log="E:\APPS\SCRIPTS\sample.LOG"

When I look into the logs, everything seems to be right. But why trying to download I see following statements

From the logs I see that it is waiting on confirmation from the user if that is a folder or a file and then exiting. How do I mention that it is a folder not a file through some parameters. If there are no such parameters existing, is there any modification I need to make to the script to have this working for me.

Your earliest response is appreciated. Thanks
