 +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).
