get <file> [ [ <file2> ... ] <directory>\[ <newname> ] ]
Advertisement
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. The last parameter specifies target local directory and optionally operation mask to store file(s) under different name. Destination directory must end with backslash. Filename can be replaced with wildcard to select multiple files. To download more files to current working directory use .\ as the last parameter.
See also synchronize, if you need to transfer modified or non-existing files only.

Examples
get index.html get -delete index.html about.html .\ get index.html about.html d:\www\ get public_html/index.html d:\www\about.* get *.html *.png d:\www\*.bak get -filemask=*.html -resumesupport=on *
Converting to .NET Assembly
When converting script to .NET Assembly, map get command to 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 convert relative paths to absolute paths.
Switches mapping:
| Switch | Mapping |
|---|---|
-delete |
Value true ($True) for method parameter remove. |
-resume |
Not supported. |
-append |
Not supported. |
-preservetime -nopreservetime -transfer -filemask -resumesupport |
Converting transfer settings scripting switches to .NET assembly class TransferSettings. |
-speed=<kibps> |
Not supported. |
To emulate option batch abort mode, call TransferOperationResult.Check on method’s result. See also Capturing results of operations.
For example, following script snippet
option batch abort ... cd /home/martinp lcd d:\ ... get -delete -filemask=*>1M -resumesupport=off *.txt *.xml web\

maps to following PowerShell code
$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions # -filemask=*>1M $transferOptions.FileMask = "*>1M" # -resumesupport=off $resumeSupport = New-Object TransferResumeSupport $resumeSupport.State = [WinSCP.TransferResumeSupportState]::Off $transferOptions.ResumeSupport = $resumeSupport # Absolute paths + $True for -delete + Two calls for two source parameters $transferResult = $session.GetFiles("/home/martinp/*.txt", "d:\web\", $True, $transferOptions) $transferResult = $session.GetFiles("/home/martinp/*.xml", "d:\web\", $True, $transferOptions) # Throw on any error to emulate "option batch abort" $transferResult.Check()
