[quote="crperpall"]I'm attempting to connect to a cloud server using traditional ftp protocol and I want to grab a file and bring it to a local directory.  The cloud server is hosted by a vendor and they control the permissions on the directories.  We have a landing point that we hit when using a traditional ftp client and I want to get to the /lsapps/email/out directory.  We are also using a secure vpn to their domain which allows us to use regular ftp protocol.  It seems in the logs that the script is looking for sftp, even though in my connection string, I specify ftp://.

I have the following script with user/pass hashed out for security:
[code]@batch@
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" ^
"/log=D:\Lawson_em_files\winscp.log /command /ini=nul /loglevel=2*"  ^
"open ftp://**********@*********.com:***********@10.xx.xx.xx:21" ^
"cd /lsapps/email/out" ^
"get *.EM" ^
"put *.EM D:\Lawson_em_files\" ^
"exit"
[/code]

Here are the logs:

I can't tell if the connection string is actually connecting?  If it is, it's definitely not doing anything further with changing directories or moving files.  I'm not sure my syntax is correct on that either.  Yesterday I was able to validate the connection string was working and I would get "230 connected" message.  I still had the problem with the script not doing anything further after establishing the connection.  I've validated that the manual entry of the username and password in winscp client works.  Again, I'm not using sftp connection since we have the vpn therefore I don't have a key or footprint.[/quote]

Re: assistance with ftp to cloud server

2020-07-31

You have the command-line all wrong.
1) Wrong indentation 2) Wrong order of parameters 3) Wrong quotes

It should be like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" ^
  /log=D:\Lawson_em_files\winscp.log /ini=nul /loglevel=2* /command ^
  "open ftp://**********@*********.com:***********@10.xx.xx.xx:21" ^
  "cd /lsapps/email/out" ^
  "get *.EM" ^
  "put *.EM D:\Lawson_em_files\" ^
  "exit"

Also the put command seems wrong, but I do not know what you wanted to achieve, so I cannot advise there.
