-==== Using local-side scripting ==== +===== Other Examples ===== 
- +  * Guide to [[guide_automation|scripting/automation]]
-You can use any available scripting language you have on the local host to generate appropriate WinSCP script. Following example uses PHP language: +  * Guide to [[guide_automation_advanced|advanced scripting]]; 
- +  * See [[library_examples|*]] for advanced tasks.
-<code winscp> +
-get /home/user/examplefile.txt *.<?=date("YmdHis")?>.txt +
-exit +
-</code> +
- +
-Execute the script to generate actual WinSCP script file. The generated script file will look like: +
- +
-<code winscp> +
-get /home/user/examplefile.txt *.20060605090825.txt +
-exit +
-</code>+
- +
-Now pass the generated script file as input to WinSCP ((WinSCP supports script on standard input since 3.8.2 only. With earlier versions you need to store the script into temporary file first.)): +
-<code> +
-php -q download.php | winscp3 user@example.com /console /script="%temp%\download.tmp" +
-</code> +
- +
-==== Using remote-side scripting ==== +
-If you do not have a scripting language on the local host, you can use remote-side script (like shell script). This approach requires opening separate [[shell session]] to invoke remote-side scripting. +
- +
-<code winscp>+
-# Make copy of the remote file to temporary timestamped file. +
-# Also add unique extension to easily find the file in the temporary directory. +
-call cp /home/user/examplefile.txt /tmp/examplefile.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.unique +
-# Download all the files with the unique extension. +
-# There should be only one, the one just created. +
-# While downloading, remove the unique extension. +
-get /tmp/*.unique *. +
-# Remove the temporary file. +
-rm /tmp/*.unique +
-exit +
-</code> +
- +
-===== Downloading the most recent file ===== +
-The script below requires opening separate [[shell session]] to invoke remote-side scripting. +
- +
-<code winscp> +
-# Make copy of the most recent file using remote command to new name +
-# with unique extension to easily find the file in the temporary directory. +
-call cp `ls -t | head -1` /tmp/`ls -t | head -1`.latest +
-# Download all the files with the unique extension. +
-# There should be only one, the one just created. +
-# While downloading, remove the unique extension. +
-get /tmp/*.latest *. +
-# Remove the temporary file. +
-rm /tmp/*.latest +
-exit +
-</code>+
