| - | ~~SPLIT~~ | ||
| - | ===== [[upload_single_file]] Uploading a single file ===== | + | ··* [[script_upload_single_file|*]] |
| - | A single file upload involves so few commands that it is enough to provide them on the command line, saving writing a script file: | + | ··* [[script_upload_multiple_servers|*]] |

| - | <code> | ||
| - | winscp.com /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open sftp://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 sftp://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> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== [[upload_multiple_servers]] Upload to multiple servers / Parametrized script ===== | ||
| - | If you need to repeat the same task against multiple servers, instead of writing separate and almost identical [[scripting|scripts]] for each server, you can write one parametrized script. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Following example is parametrized script that accepts one [[scripting#syntax|parameter]] with [[session_url|session URL]] and uploads a fixed local file to a fixed remote directory: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | option batch abort | ||
| - | option confirm off | ||
| - | open %1% | ||
| - | put examplefile.txt /home/user/ | ||
| - | exit | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | To use the script against multiple servers, just execute the script (saved to file ''script.txt'') repeatedly, using different [[session_url|session URL]] as parameter: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=script.txt /parameter sftp://martin@server1.example.com/ | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=script.txt /parameter sftp://test@server2.example.com/ | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | If the script has also other variable parts, like file to upload or remote directory, just replace those parts with additional parameters (''%2%'', ''%3%'', etc). | ||
| - | |||
| - | //Alternative to using ''/parameter'' switch is [[scripting#syntax|using environment variable in the script]].// | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== [[download_timestamped_filename]] Downloading file to timestamped-filename ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Using WinSCP .NET Assembly ==== | ||
| - | Use [[library|WinSCP .NET assembly]] from your favourite language. Use relevant construct of your language or API of your runtime environment for the file name formatting. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you do not have your favourite language, use [[library_powershell|PowerShell]]: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code powershell> | ||

| - | |||
| - | # Format timestamp | ||
| - | $stamp = $(Get-Date -f "yyyyMMddHHmmss") | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Download the file and throw on any error | ||
| - | $session.GetFiles( | ||

| - | ==== [[library]] Using WinSCP .NET Assembly ==== | ||
| - | Use [[library|WinSCP .NET assembly]] from your favourite language. | ||

| - | |||
| - | ==== Using WinSCP Scripting ==== | ||
| - | WinSCP scripting 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 a 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:\users\username\www\forum'' with ''/home/user/www/forum''. &winpath | ||
| - | |||
| - | Such a 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> | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=example.txt /parameter %1 "/home/user/www/%~n1%~x1" | ||
| - | </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 "%1%" "%2%" | ||
| - | </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:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo'', you can use //Send To > Your Shortcut// from context menu of any local directory. &winpath | ||

| - | ===== [[auto_compress_download]] Automatically compress files before download ===== | ||
| - | Following script compresses selected files into tar/gzip archive and downloads it: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | option batch abort | ||
| - | option confirm off | ||
| - | open mysession | ||
| - | cd %1% | ||
| - | call tar -czf /tmp/archive.tar.gz %2% | ||
| - | lpwd | ||
| - | get -delete /tmp/archive.tar.gz | ||
| - | exit | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Launch the above script from batch file like the one below, which automatically decompresses the archive: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=example.txt /parameter %* | ||
| - | if errorlevel 1 goto error | ||
| - | |||
| - | echo Retrieving files succeeded | ||
| - | gzip -d archive.tar.gz | ||
| - | tar -xf archive.tar | ||
| - | del archive.tar | ||
| - | exit | ||
| - | |||
| - | :error | ||
| - | echo Retrieving files failed | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Example of running the batch file to download all files under ''/home/user/www'': | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | example.bat /home/user/www *.* | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | The batch file needs Windows ports of ''gzip'' and ''tar'' tools. You can get them from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/|UnxUtils]] project. | ||
