Found a DOS Batch file as a work around for the time being.

For those of you needing something similar, here's a DOS Batch script you can run to create a directory with the timestamp as the name.

set hh=%time:~0,2%
if "%time:~0,1%"==" " set hh=0%hh:~1,1%
set yyyy-mm-dd__hh.mm.ss=%date:~10,4%-%date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%__%hh%.%time:~3,2%.%time:~6,2%---%date:~-0,3%
MD C:\Archive\%yyyy-mm-dd__hh.mm.ss%
Move D:\downloads\*.* C:\Archive\%yyyy-mm-dd__hh.mm.ss%

Put the above into a text file, rename the extension to .bat and schedule it after how many ever hours it takes for your download to complete.

A way to mkdir with today's date variable?

Hi there.

First, thanks for the excellent program and its user-friendly scripting!

My question: Is there a way to create a directory using a variable such as the current date and/or time?

I've got to ftp download a large number of files every day and would like to have WinSCP locally create a directory using the current date.

Please give me a few explicit examples, as I'm a newbie with advanced scripting.

Thank you!
