put
Uploads one or more files from local directory to remote directory.
Advertisement
Syntax
put <file> [ [ <file2> ... ] <directory>/[ <newname> ] ]
Remarks
If only one parameter is specified uploads the file to remote working directory. If more parameters are specified, all except the last one specify set of files to upload. The last parameter specifies target remote directory and optionally operation mask to store file(s) under different name. Destination directory must end with slash. Filename can be replaced with Windows wildcard1 to select multiple files. To upload more files to current working directory use ./
as the last parameter. To upload all files in a directory, use mask *
.
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 option failonnomatch on
command).
You can have WinSCP generate a code template for Session.put
for you.
See also synchronize
, if you need to transfer modified files only.
Switches:

-nopermissions |
Keep default permissions |
-speed=<kbps> |

Converting to .NET Assembly
When converting script to .NET Assembly, map put
command to Session.PutFiles
method.
Parameters mapping: Command parameter file
maps to method parameter localPath
. When multiple source file parameters are used, you need to call Session.PutFiles
multiple times. Command parameter directory/newname
maps to method parameter remotePath
. You have to convert relative paths to absolute paths.
Switches mapping:
Switch | Mapping |
---|---|
-delete |
Value true ($True in PowerShell) for method parameter remove . |
-latest |
See Uploading the most recent file. |
-resume -append -preservetime -nopreservetime -permissions -nopermissions -transfer -filemask -resumesupport -speed=<kbps> |
Converting transfer settings scripting switches to .NET assembly class TransferSettings . |
-neweronly |
Not supported. Use Session.SynchronizeDirectories instead. |
To emulate the (default) option batch abort
mode, call TransferOperationResult.Check
on method’s result. See also Capturing results of operations.

For example, following script snippet:
cd /home/martinp lcd d:\ ... put -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 $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.PutFiles("d:\*.txt", "/home/martinp/web/", $True, $transferOptions).Check() $session.PutFiles("d:\*.xml", "/home/martinp/web/", $True, $transferOptions).Check()
- The Windows wildcard supports

only. If you want to use a full syntax of file masks, use a-filemask
switch.Back - Applies for individual files transfers only. It does not skip transfer of fully transferred files. For that, combine the switch with
