| WinSCP automatically resolves ''%TIMESTAMP[rel]#format%'' to a real time (optionally to a past or future time) with the given format. The ''format'' may include ''yyyy'' for year, ''mm'' for month, ''dd'' for day, ''hh'' for hour, ''nn'' for minute and ''ss'' for second. For example, the ''%TIMESTAMP#yyyy-mm-dd%'' resolves to ''2016-06-22'' on 22 June 2016. See [[http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE6/en/System.SysUtils.FormatDateTime|other formats you can use]]. | WinSCP automatically resolves ''%TIMESTAMP[rel]#format%'' to a real time (optionally to a past or future time) with the given format.

| - | The optional ''rel'' part, with syntax ''[-+]time[YDHNS]'', produces past (''-'') or future (''+'') timestamps. One of the following units must be used: ''Y'' (years), ''D'' (days), ''H'' (hours), ''N'' (minutes) or ''S'' (seconds). For example, the ''%TIMESTAMP-1D#yyyy-mm-dd%'' resolves to ''2016-06-21'' on 22 June 2016. &beta_feature | + | The optional ''rel'' part, with syntax ''[-+]time[YDHNS]'', produces past (''-'') or future (''+'') timestamps.

| To use ''%TIMESTAMP%'' on a command-line in a batch file, you need to escape the ''%'' by doubling it to ''<nowiki>%%TIMESTAMP%%</nowiki>'', to avoid a batch file interpreter trying to resolve the variable. | To use ''%TIMESTAMP%'' on a command-line in a batch file, you need to escape the ''%'' by doubling it to ''<nowiki>%%TIMESTAMP%%</nowiki>'', to avoid a batch file interpreter trying to resolve the variable. | ||
