| ====== Useful Scripts ====== | ====== Useful Scripts ====== | ||
| - | ===== Downloading file to timestamped-filename ===== | + | ··* [[script_upload_single_file|*]] |
| - | + | * [[script_upload_multiple_servers|*]] | |
| - | ==== Using local-side scripting ==== | + | * [[script_download_timestamped_filename|*]] |
| - | + | * [[script_download_most_recent_file|*]] | |
| - | You can use any available scripting language you have on the local host to generate appropriate WinSCP script. Following example uses PHP language: | + | * [[script_upload_most_recent_file|*]] |
| - | + | * [[script_checking_file_existence|*]] | |
| - | <code winscp> | + | * [[script_local_move_after_successful_upload|*]] |
| - | get /home/user/examplefile.txt *.<?=date("YmdHis")?>.txt | + | * [[script_locking_files_while_uploading|*]] |
| - | exit | + | * [[script_downloading_when_done_file_exists|*]] |
| - | </code> | + | * [[script_download_files_to_same_folder|*]] |
| - | + | * [[script_upload_file_list|*]] | |
| - | Execute the script to generate actual WinSCP script file. The generated script file will look like: | + | * [[script_synchronize_any_local_file|*]] |
| - | + | * [[script_auto_compress_download|*]] | |
| - | <code winscp> | + | * [[script_custom_listing_format_csv|*]] |
| - | get /home/user/examplefile.txt *.20060605090825.txt | + | * [[script_retry|*]] |
| - | exit | + | * [[script_formatting_timestamp_batch_file|*]] |
| - | </code> | + | * [[script_email|*]] |
| - | + | * [[script_vbnet_robust_example|*]] | |
| - | Now pass the generated script file as input to WinSCP ((WinSCP [[scripting#console|console interface tool]] 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.com 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> | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== [[local_move]] Moving local files to different location after upload ===== | + | |
| - | WinSCP does not support move command for local files. Instead you can combine WinSCP script with batch file: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | <code winscp> | + | |
| - | # Make the script abort on any error | + | |
| - | option batch abort | + | |
| - | # Connect | + | |
| - | open session | + | |
| - | # Upload the files | + | |
| - | put *.* | + | |
| - | </code> | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Launch the above script from batch file like the one below: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | <code> | + | |
| - | winscp3.com /script=example.txt | + | |
| - | if errorlevel 1 goto error | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | echo Upload succeeded, moving local files | + | |
| - | move *.* c:\backup\teste | + | |
| - | exit | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | :error | + | |
| - | echo Upload failed, keeping local files | + | |
| - | </code> | + | |
