| - | //Since WinSCP 5.7,// when running commands specified using ''/script'' or ''/command'', batch mode is used implicitly and overwrite confirmations are turned off. &recent (* Other articles referring to "option batch abort" are left intact until 5.7 is widespread *) In older releases and in an interactive scripting mode, the user is prompted in the same way as in GUI mode. To force batch mode (all prompts are automatically answered negatively) use the command ''[[scriptcommand_option|option batch abort]]''. For batch mode it is recommended to turn off confirmations using ''[[scriptcommand_option|option confirm off]]'' to allow overwrites (otherwise the [[ui_overwrite|overwrite confirmation prompt]] would be answered negatively, making overwrites impossible). | + | When running commands specified using ''/script'' or ''/command'', batch mode is used implicitly and overwrite confirmations are turned off.
