[quote="KishorP"]I want to copy and move files from one remote directory ([code]/Test[/code]) to another remote directory ([code]/KMPTest[/code]) on the same remote server.
I tried to use session.DuplicateFile but it only let me copy one file only.
My directories on the remote:[/code]
[code]Root --> /
Source Directory -->  /Test
integrationShareDir  -->  /KMPTest
[/code]
I tried [code]PutFiles[/code] as:
[code]transferResult = session.PutFiles(sourceDirectory + "/*.txt", integrationShareDir+ "/", false, transferOptions);[/code]
However, log says:
pwd
< 2020-06-17 11:04:13.853 Script: /
> 2020-06-17 11:04:16.815 Script: put  -nopermissions -preservetime -transfer="binary" -filemask="|*/" -- "/Test/*.txt" "/KMPTest/"
< 2020-06-17 11:04:16.866 Script: No file matching '/Test/*.txt' found. (System Error.  Code: 3.
Note that [code]MoveFile[/code] works fine, with the same specification:
[code]session.MoveFile(sourceDirectory + "/*.txt", integrationShareDir + "/");[/code].
Both of the above command works if I specify a local directory [code]C:\Temp[/code] for the [code]integrationShareDir [/code].

Also, GetFiles copies files to my local executable directory, ignoring /KMPTest on the remote.

Where may be I am going wrong to make [code]PutFile[/code] Work?
Thank you,

Re: Copy files from one remote directory to another remote directory on the same server

If you need to make a copy of whole folder, you will need to call Session.DuplicateFile for each file individually.

Though if you use SFTP/SCP protocol, note that the method internally calls shell command cp. So you might want to call cp -r ... using Session.ExecuteCommand instead.

Copy files from one remote directory to another remote directory on the same server

2020-06-17 17:39

I want to copy and move files from one remote directory (

/Test

) to another remote directory (

/KMPTest

) on the same remote server.
I tried to use session.DuplicateFile but it only let me copy one file only.
My directories on the remote:[/code]

Root --> /

Source Directory -->  /Test

integrationShareDir  -->  /KMPTest

I tried

PutFiles

as:

transferResult = session.PutFiles(sourceDirectory + "/*.txt", integrationShareDir+ "/", false, transferOptions);

However, log says:
pwd
< 2020-06-17 11:04:13.853 Script: /
> 2020-06-17 11:04:16.815 Script: put -nopermissions -preservetime -transfer="binary" -filemask="|*/" -- "/Test/*.txt" "/KMPTest/"
< 2020-06-17 11:04:16.866 Script: No file matching '/Test/*.txt' found. (System Error. Code: 3.
Note that

MoveFile

works fine, with the same specification:

session.MoveFile(sourceDirectory + "/*.txt", integrationShareDir + "/");

.
Both of the above command works if I specify a local directory

C:\Temp

for the

integrationShareDir

.

Also, GetFiles copies files to my local executable directory, ignoring /KMPTest on the remote.

Where may be I am going wrong to make

PutFile

Work?
Thank you,
Kishor
