| + | Downloads one or more files from remote directory to local directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If only one parameter is specified, downloads the file to local working directory. If more parameters are specified, all except the last one specify set of files to download. Filename can be replaced with [[file_mask|wildcard]] to select multiple files. To download all files in a directory, use mask ''*''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The last parameter specifies target local directory and optionally [[operation_mask|operation mask]] to store file(s) under different name. Target directory must end with backslash. To download more files to current working directory use ''.\'' as the last parameter. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With the [[commandline#stdout|''/stdout'' command-line switch]], ''-'' can be used as a target to ==stream== the contents of downloaded file(s) to the [[executables#redirection|standard output of ''winscp.com'']]. Streaming is supported with the [[sftp|SFTP]] and [[ftp|FTP]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When specific file name is used, command fails when the file does not exist. When wildcard is used, command succeeds, without doing anything, if the wildcard does not match any file, by default (you can change this using ''[[scriptcommand_option#failonnomatch|option failonnomatch on]]'' command). | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can have WinSCP [[guide_automation#generating|generate a code template]] for ''get'' for you. | ||

| + | ===== [[net]] Converting to .NET Assembly ===== | ||
| + | When [[library_from_script|converting script to .NET Assembly]], map ''get'' command to ''[[library_session_getfiles|Session.GetFiles]]'' method. | ||
| + | Parameters mapping: Command parameter ''file'' maps to method parameter ''remotePath''. When multiple source file parameters are used, you need to call ''Session.GetFiles'' multiple times. Command parameter ''directory\newname'' maps to method parameter ''localPath''. You have to [[library_from_script#paths|convert relative paths to absolute paths]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Switches mapping: | ||
| + | ^ Switch ^ Mapping ^ | ||
| + | | ''-delete'' | Value ''true'' (''$True'' in PowerShell) for method parameter ''remove''. | | ||
| + | | ''-latest'' | See [[script_download_most_recent_file|*]]. | | ||
| + | | ''-resume'' \\ ''-append'' \\ ''-preservetime'' \\ ''-nopreservetime'' \\ ''-transfer'' \\ ''-filemask'' \\ ''-resumesupport'' \\ ''-speed=<kbps>'' | [[library_from_script_transfer_settings|Converting transfer settings scripting switches]] to .NET assembly class ''TransferSettings''. | | ||
| + | | ''-neweronly'' | Not supported. Use ''[[library_session_synchronizedirectories|Session.SynchronizeDirectories]]'' instead. | | ||
| + | |||
| + | To emulate the ([[scripting#using_scripting|default]]) ''[[scriptcommand_option|option batch abort]]'' mode, call ''[[library_operationresultbase|TransferOperationResult.Check]]'' on method's result. See also [[library_session#results|Capturing results of operations]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, following script snippet: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code winscp> | ||
| + | cd /home/martinp | ||
| + | lcd d:\ | ||
| + | ... | ||
| + | get -delete -filemask=*>1M -resumesupport=off *.txt *.xml web\ | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | maps to following [[library_powershell|PowerShell]] code: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code powershell> | ||
| + | $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions | ||
| + | # -filemask=*>1M | ||
| + | $transferOptions.FileMask = "*>1M" | ||
| + | # -resumesupport=off | ||
| + | $transferOptions.ResumeSupport.State = [WinSCP.TransferResumeSupportState]::Off | ||
| + | # Absolute paths + $True for -delete + Two calls for two source parameters | ||
| + | # + calling Check on result to emulate the (default) "option batch abort" mode | ||
| + | $session.GetFiles("/home/martinp/*.txt", "d:\web\", $True, $transferOptions).Check() | ||
| + | $session.GetFiles("/home/martinp/*.xml", "d:\web\", $True, $transferOptions).Check() | ||
