| - | <code batch> | ||
| - | winscp.com /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open sftp://user:password@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:password@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 batch> | ||
| - | 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#arguments|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 batch> | ||
| - | 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#variables|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 favorite language. Use relevant construct of your language or API of your runtime environment for the file name formatting. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you do not have your favorite language, use [[library_powershell|PowerShell]]: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code powershell> | ||
| - | try | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Load WinSCP .NET assembly | ||
| - | Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll" | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Setup session options | ||
| - | $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.HostName = "example.com" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.UserName = "user" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.Password = "mypassword" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" | ||
| - | |||
| - | $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session | ||
| - | |||
| - | try | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Connect | ||
| - | $session.Open($sessionOptions) | ||
| - | |||
| - | $localPath = "c:\downloaded\" | ||
| - | $remotePath = "/home/user/" | ||
| - | $file = "download.txt" | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Format timestamp | ||
| - | $stamp = $(Get-Date -f "yyyyMMddHHmmss") | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Download the file and throw on any error | ||
| - | $session.GetFiles( | ||
| - | ($remotePath + $file), | ||
| - | ($localPath + $file + "." + $stamp)).Check() | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | finally | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Disconnect, clean up | ||
| - | $session.Dispose() | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | |||
| - | exit 0 | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | catch [Exception] | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | Write-Host $_.Exception.Message | ||
| - | exit 1 | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Using WinSCP Scripting ==== | ||
| - | === [[batch]] Using TIMESTAMP Variable === | ||
| - | //In the latest beta release//, &beta you can use ''[[scripting#timestamp|%TIMESTAMP%]]'' construct to insert a real-time to a script. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | option batch abort | ||
| - | option confirm off | ||
| - | open mysession | ||
| - | get "/home/user/download.txt" "C:\downloaded\download.txt.%TIMESTAMP#yyyymmddhhnnss%" | ||
| - | exit | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | === [[batch]] From a Batch File === | ||
| - | In Windows batch file, you may retrieve current time in locale-independent format using command ''[[http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491034.aspx|wmic]] os get LocalDateTime''. You can parse the value using using [[http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Windows_Batch_Scripting#String_processing|string processing syntax]]: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code batch> | ||
| - | @echo off | ||
| - | |||
| - | for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims==" %%i in (`wmic os get LocalDateTime /VALUE 2^>NUL`) do if '.%%i.'=='.LocalDateTime.' set LDT=%%j | ||
| - | set STAMP=%LDT:~0,4%%LDT:~4,2%%LDT:~6,2%%LDT:~8,2%%LDT:~10,2%%LDT:~12,2% | ||
| - | |||
| - | winscp.com /script=script.txt | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | //Note that the expression after ''set STAMP='' shows how to extract individual date/time components, in case you need to interleave them by some punctuation. If not, you can replace it by simple ''%LDT:~0,14%''.// | ||
| - | |||
| - | The ''script.txt'' should make use of the variable ''STAMP'' using ''%STAMP%'' [[scripting#variables|syntax]]. For example: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | option batch abort | ||
| - | option confirm off | ||
| - | open mysession | ||
| - | get "/home/user/download.txt" "C:\downloaded\download.txt.%STAMP%" | ||
| - | exit | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | === From a JScript === | ||
| - | You may use following [[guide_automation_advanced#wsh|Windows script host JScript code]] (''example.js''): | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code javascript> | ||
| - | // Local path to download to (keep trailing slash) | ||
| - | var LOCALPATH = "c:\\downloaded\\"; | ||
| - | // Remote path to download from (keep trailing slash) | ||
| - | var REMOTEPATH = "/home/user/"; | ||
| - | // File to download | ||
| - | var FILE = "download.txt"; | ||
| - | // Session to connect to | ||
| - | var SESSION = "session"; | ||
| - | // Path to winscp.com | ||
| - | var WINSCP = "c:\\program files\\winscp\\winscp.com"; | ||
| - | |||
| - | // helper function to pad zeroes to the left of number | ||
| - | function pad(n, len) | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | var s = n.toString(); | ||
| - | while (s.length < len) | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | s = '0' + s; | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | return s; | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | |||
| - | var date = new Date(); | ||
| - | |||
| - | // format timestamp | ||
| - | var stamp = | ||
| - | pad(date.getFullYear(), 4) + | ||
| - | pad(date.getMonth(), 2) + | ||
| - | pad(date.getDate(), 2) + | ||
| - | pad(date.getHours(), 2) + | ||
| - | pad(date.getMinutes(), 2) + | ||
| - | pad(date.getSeconds(), 2); | ||
| - | |||
| - | var shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); | ||
| - | |||
| - | // run winscp to download the file into timestamped-filename | ||
| - | exec = shell.Exec("\"" + WINSCP + "\""); | ||
| - | exec.StdIn.Write( | ||
| - | "option batch abort\n" + | ||
| - | "open \"" + SESSION + "\"\n" + | ||
| - | "get \"" + REMOTEPATH + FILE + "\" \"" + LOCALPATH + FILE + "." + stamp + "\"\n" + | ||
| - | "exit\n"); | ||
| - | |||
| - | // wait until it finishes and collect its output | ||
| - | var output = exec.StdOut.ReadAll(); | ||
| - | // optionally print the output | ||
| - | WScript.Echo(output); | ||
| - | </code> | ||

| - | |||
| - | Some of following alternatives can be easier to implement or actually even more appropriate for your specific task: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Synchronizing a remote directory to a local directory (using ''[[scriptcommand_synchronize|synchronize local]]'' in scripting or ''[[library_session_synchronizedirectories|Session.SynchronizeDirectories(SynchronizationMode.Local, ...)]]'' in .NET assembly); | ||
| - | * Downloading all files created in the last 24 hours (using [[file_mask|file mask]] ''*>=1D''; e.g. ''%%get -filemask="*>=1D" /home/user/*%%'', or an equivalent in .NET assembly). | ||
| - | * Downloading all files created today (using ''[[scripting#timestamp|%TIMESTAMP%]]'' syntax to format [[file_mask|file mask]] with today's time constraint, e.g. ''%%get -filemask="*>=%TIMESTAMP#yyyy-mm-dd%" /home/user/*%%'', or an equivalent in .NET assembly). | ||

| - | You can use a ''[[scriptcommand_stat|stat]]'' command in ''[[scriptcommand_option|option batch abort]]'' mode to query file attributes. If the file does not exist, the ''stat'' command fails and so does the script. Then, [[scripting#checking_results|test WinSCP exit code]] to determine, if the file exists or not. | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code batch> | ||
| - | @echo off | ||
| - | |||
| - | set REMOTE_PATH=/home/user/test.txt | ||
| - | winscp.com /command ^ | ||
| - | "option batch abort" ^ | ||
| - | "open mysession" ^ | ||
| - | "stat %REMOTE_PATH%" ^ | ||
| - | "exit" | ||
| - | |||
| - | if %ERRORLEVEL% neq 0 goto error | ||
| - | |||
| - | echo File %REMOTE_PATH% exists | ||
| - | rem Do something | ||
| - | exit 0 | ||
| - | |||
| - | :error | ||
| - | echo Error or file %REMOTE_PATH% not exists | ||
| - | exit 1 | ||

| - | * In [[library_powershell|PowerShell]], use ''[[http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849776.aspx|Test-Path]]'' cmdlet. See [[library_session_getfiles#powershell|example]]. | ||
| - | * In a batch file, use ''[[http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754335.aspx|if exist]]'' command. See [[guide_automation_conditional#scripting|example]]. | ||
| - | * In .NET, use ''[[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.exists.aspx|File.Exists]]'' method. See [[library_session_getfiles#csharp|C#]] and [[library_session_getfiles#vbnet|VB.NET]] example. | ||
| - | * In WSH, use ''[[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x23stk5t.aspx|Scripting.FileSystemObject.FileExists]]'' method. See [[library_session_getfiles#jscript|JScript]] and [[library_session_getfiles#jscript|VBScript]] example. | ||

| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== [[library]] Using WinSCP .NET Assembly ==== | ||
| - | Use [[library|WinSCP .NET assembly]] from your favorite language. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you do not have your favorite language, use [[library_powershell|PowerShell]]: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code powershell> | ||
| - | try | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Load WinSCP .NET assembly | ||
| - | Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll" | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Setup session options | ||
| - | $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.HostName = "example.com" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.UserName = "user" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.Password = "mypassword" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" | ||
| - | |||
| - | $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session | ||
| - | |||
| - | try | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Connect | ||
| - | $session.Open($sessionOptions) | ||
| - | |||
| - | $localPath = "C:\upload\*" | ||
| - | $remotePath = "/home/user/" | ||
| - | $backupPath = "C:\backup\" | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Upload files, collect results | ||
| - | $transferResult = $session.PutFiles($localPath, $remotePath) | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Iterate over every transfer | ||
| - | foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers) | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Success or error? | ||
| - | if ($transfer.Error -eq $Null) | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | Write-Host ("Upload of {0} succeeded, moving to backup" -f | ||
| - | $transfer.FileName) | ||
| - | # Upload succeeded, move source file to backup | ||
| - | Move-Item $transfer.FileName $backupPath | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | else | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | Write-Host ("Upload of {0} failed: {1}" -f | ||
| - | $transfer.FileName, $transfer.Error.Message) | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | finally | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Disconnect, clean up | ||
| - | $session.Dispose() | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | |||
| - | exit 0 | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | catch [Exception] | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | Write-Host $_.Exception.Message | ||
| - | exit 1 | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== 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 batch> | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=example.txt | ||
| - | if %ERRORLEVEL% neq 0 goto error | ||
| - | |||
| - | echo Upload succeeded, moving local files | ||
| - | move *.* c:\backup\ | ||
| - | exit 0 | ||
| - | |||
| - | :error | ||
| - | echo Upload failed, keeping local files | ||
| - | exit 1 | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== [[locking_files_while_uploading]] Locking files while uploading / Upload to temporary file name ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | You may have an automated system monitoring a remote folder and you want to prevent it from accidentally picking a file that has not finished uploading yet. As majority of SFTP and FTP servers do not support file locking (and neither does WinSCP), you need to prevent the automated system from picking the file otherwise. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Common workarounds are: | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Upload "done" file once an upload of data files finishes and have the automated system wait for the "done" file before processing the data files. This is easy solution, but won't work in multi-user environment. | ||
| - | - Upload data files to temporary ("upload") folder and move them atomically to target folder once the upload finishes. | ||
| - | - Upload data files to distinct temporary name, e.g. with ''.filepart'' extension, and rename them atomically once the upload finishes. Have the automated system ignore the ''.filepart'' files. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Here we focus on the third approach (although the second is very similar, implementation-wise). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Using Transfer to temporary filename feature ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | With [[sftp|SFTP protocol]], you can use [[resume#automatic|Transfer to temporary filename]] feature to have WinSCP handle the rename automatically for you. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In [[scripting]], use: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code winscp> | ||
| - | put -resumesupport=on d:\toupload\*.txt /home/martin/upload/ | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | With [[library|WinSCP .NET assembly]], use: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code powershell> | ||
| - | $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions | ||
| - | $transferOptions.ResumeSupport.State = [WinSCP.TransferResumeSupportState]::On | ||
| - | $session.PutFiles("d:\toupload\*.txt", "/home/martin/upload/", $False, $transferOptions).Check() | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Moving/renaming uploaded files when upload finishes ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you need to use a different name pattern or a protocol different from SFTP or you want to take the second approach, you need to code the rename/move. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Following example shows implementation of the third approach using [[library|WinSCP .NET assembly]] in [[library_powershell|PowerShell]]: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code powershell> | ||
| - | try | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Load WinSCP .NET assembly | ||
| - | Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll" | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Setup session options | ||
| - | $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.HostName = "example.com" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.UserName = "user" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.Password = "mypassword" | ||
| - | $sessionOptions.SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" | ||
| - | |||
| - | $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session | ||
| - | |||
| - | try | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Connect | ||
| - | $session.Open($sessionOptions) | ||
| - | |||
| - | $localPath = "c:\toupload\" | ||
| - | $remotePath = "/home/user/upload/" | ||
| - | # Deliberately using an underscore instead of a dot, | ||
| - | # as the dot has specific meaning in operation mask | ||
| - | $suffix = "_filepart" | ||
| - | |||
| - | $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions | ||
| - | # Particularly with SFTP protocol, prevent additional .filepart suffix | ||
| - | # from being added to uploaded files larger than 100 KB | ||
| - | $transferOptions.ResumeSupport.State = [WinSCP.TransferResumeSupportState]::Off | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Upload all .txt files with temporary "_filepart" suffix | ||
| - | $transferResult = | ||
| - | $session.PutFiles(($localPath + "*.txt"), ($remotePath + "*.*" + $suffix), | ||
| - | $False, $transferOptions) | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Throw on any error | ||
| - | $transferResult.Check() | ||
| - | |||
| - | # Rename uploaded files | ||
| - | foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers) | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Remove suffix | ||
| - | $finalName = $transfer.Destination.SubString(0, $transfer.Destination.Length - $suffix.Length) | ||
| - | Write-Host ("Renaming uploaded file {0} to final name {1}" -f $transfer.Destination, $finalName) | ||
| - | # Rename uploaded file to its final name | ||
| - | $session.MoveFile($transfer.Destination, $finalName) | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | finally | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | # Disconnect, clean up | ||
| - | $session.Dispose() | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | |||
| - | exit 0 | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | catch [Exception] | ||
| - | { | ||
| - | Write-Host $_.Exception.Message | ||
| - | exit 1 | ||
| - | } | ||
| - | </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 batch> | ||
| - | 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 batch> | ||
| - | winscp.com /script=example.txt /parameter %* | ||
| - | if %ERRORLEVEL% neq 0 goto error | ||
| - | |||
| - | echo Retrieving files succeeded | ||
| - | gzip -d archive.tar.gz | ||
| - | tar -xf archive.tar | ||
| - | del archive.tar | ||
| - | exit 0 | ||
| - | |||
| - | :error | ||
| - | echo Retrieving files failed | ||
| - | exit 1 | ||
| - | </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. | ||
