Scripting picks up whatever settings from the GUI. So configure it in the GUI before running the script.

I have a feeling this may be down to being able to deselect the Existing files only checkbox in the manual sync dialogue.

OK - Having read through some of the other threads I did as was suggested earlier and added...

lls I:\Downloads\synctest\
ls /mnt/sdg1/files/synctest/
synchronize local -mirror -delete -nopermissions I:\Downloads\synctest\ /mnt/sdg1/files/synctest/

... to my code. Listing the command prompt output below:

batch abort
confirm off

Here's the relevant log output for the sync process:

If I compare this to the log output for a manual sync using the GUI, it's very different:

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently out of ideas.

Synchronise script won't get new files

I've been going through the documentation on how to run a synchronise script and can't seem to get it to actually download anything.

I have an SFTP directory which gets populated from another source, I'd like to download all new files to a local directory on a daily basis. If a file is deleted on the remote directory I'd like this to be automatically deleted from the local directory.

I've created a session which specifies the following:

    Host name
    user name
    password
    file protocol (SFTP)
    remote directory
    local directory


I've then created a .bat script with the following:

winscp.com /script=sync.txt /defaults


This calls the following script:

option batch abort

option confirm off
option reconnecttime 30
open <session>
option transfer binary
synchronize local -delete
close
exit


The script successfully opens the session and connects to the host. The correct directories are listed, however nothing is transferred.

If I create a new file or folder in the local directory, these are deleted when the script is run so I can tell at least some of the settings are working OK.

If I open the session and run a sync command through the GUI it works OK so I have no idea why it's not working in the script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
