	====== Useful Scripts ======		====== Useful Scripts ======

-	===== [[upload]] Uploading single file =====	+	··* [[script_upload_single_file\|*]]
-		+	* [[script_upload_multiple_servers\|*]]
-	Upload single file involves so little commands that it it enough to provide them on command line, saving writing a script file:	+	* [[script_download_timestamped_filename\|*]]
-		+	* [[script_download_most_recent_file\|*]]
-	<code>	+	* [[script_upload_most_recent_file\|*]]
-	winscp.com user@example.com /command "put examplefile.txt /home/user/" "exit"	+	* [[script_checking_file_existence\|*]]
-	</code>	+	* [[script_local_move_after_successful_upload\|*]]
-		+	* [[script_locking_files_while_uploading\|*]]
-	===== Downloading file to timestamped-filename =====	+	* [[script_downloading_when_done_file_exists\|*]]
-		+	* [[script_download_files_to_same_folder\|*]]
-	==== Using local-side scripting ====	+	* [[script_upload_file_list\|*]]
-		+	* [[script_synchronize_any_local_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_auto_compress_download\|*]]
-		+	* [[script_custom_listing_format_csv\|*]]
-	<code php>	+	* [[script_retry\|*]]
-	get /home/user/examplefile.txt *.<?=date("YmdHis")?>.txt	+	* [[script_formatting_timestamp_batch_file\|*]]
-	exit	+	* [[script_email\|*]]
-	</code>	+	* [[script_vbnet_robust_example\|*]]
-		+
-	When executed, the generated WinSCP script file may look like:	+
-		+
-	<code winscp>	+
-	get /home/user/examplefile.txt *.20060605090825.txt	+
-	exit	+
-	</code>	+
-		+
-	Now pass the generated script file as input to WinSCP:	+
-	<code>	+
-	php -q download.php \| winscp.com user@example.com /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>	+
-	winscp.com /script=example.txt	+
-	if errorlevel 1 goto error	+
-		+
-	echo Upload succeeded, moving local files	+
-	move . c:\backup\	+
-	exit	+
-		+
-	:error	+
-	echo Upload failed, keeping local files	+
-	</code>	+
-		+
