| - | Uploading single file involves so little commands that it is enough to provide them on command line, saving writing a script file: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | winscp.com /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open user@example.com" "put examplefile.txt /home/user/" "exit" | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | However you may want to use a script file anyway, so you can later expand it: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | option batch abort | ||
| - | option confirm off | ||
| - | open user@example.com | ||
| - | put examplefile.txt /home/user/ | ||
| - | exit | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | To run the script use following command (providing you have saved the script to file ''example.txt''): | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=example.txt | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||

| - | { | ||
| - | WScript.Echo("Error downloading " + filenameLatest); | ||
| - | WScript.Quit(1); | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Run the script with command: | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | cscript /nologo example.js | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== [[local_move_after_successful_upload]] Moving local files to different location after successful upload ===== | ||
| - | WinSCP does not support move command for local files. Instead you can combine WinSCP script with batch file: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | option batch abort | ||
| - | option confirm off | ||
| - | # Connect | ||
| - | open mysession | ||
| - | # 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> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== [[synchronize_any_local_file]] Shortcut to synchronize any local directory with remote directory ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | You may want to have script that synchronizes any local directory with a same-named subdirectory of fixed remote path, e.g.: | ||
| - | * ''c:\www\gallery'' with ''/home/user/www/gallery''; | ||
| - | * ''c:\documents and settings\martin\www\forum'' with ''/home/user/www/forum''. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Such script is particularly useful for integrating with Windows Explorer's 'Send To' menu. | ||
| - | |||
| - | First create wrapper batch file to store the paths you want to synchronize into environment variables (change ''/home/user/www/'' to remote path root you want to synchronize against): | ||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | set LOCAL=%1 | ||
| - | set REMOTE="/home/user/www/%~n1%~x1" | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=example.txt | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | The script ''example.txt'' may look like: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | # Being intended for interactive session, we are not enabling batch mode | ||
| - | # Connect | ||
| - | open mysession | ||
| - | # Synchronize paths provided via environment variables | ||
| - | synchronize remote %LOCAL% %REMOTE% | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Then you can make a shortcut to the batch file: | ||
| - | * When placed on desktop, you can drop any local directory to it to start synchronization; | ||
| - | * When placed to ''c:\documents and settings\username\sendto'', you can use //Send To > Your Shortcut// from context menu of any local directory. | ||
