Can you try unicode 5.0.5 beta?


Problem solved in 5.0.5 beta, no more errors with Code 123.

Filenames with accents in unnicode encoding (the usual case) are synchronized without problem.

Some files, saved from mail attachments, contain accented letters not in unicode. These files are first deleted during synchronization ("synchronize remote -delete") and then transfered again; this happens in every synchronization. I had just to rename these files and type again the accented characters so that they become unicode and everything is fine now, they are synchronized only once.

Thanks again.

Think its because the file is corrupted, is there a way in scripts like the gui to say if file name is two long or corrupt to skip over it and not abort?

You can use "option batch continue".

Sorry, your post does not include enough information.

Please read how to troubleshoot problems with WinSCP. If it turns out that you are not able to help yourself, read how to ask for support or report bugs efficiently, so others can help you.

Also start a new thread as I do not see any relation to this one.

If so is there a way of solving this and making it not come out as a regex.

You can try to specify full file name "???? ???? ?? .doc" and hope it does not match another file. However I do not think that the question marks are actually question marks. So it may not help.

I put in thing below to my script and it solved it for some copying

option exclude "*.mp4; *.lnk; *.exe; *.msi; My Pictures; My Music; My Videos; @college; .metadata; *.cab; *.exe; *.msi; *_?*; ~$?*; *-?*; Tatjana;"


but have a corrupt file that is called
???? ???? ?? .doc

but putting *?* just stops copying everything.

Think because ? is being picked up as a regex am i right?

If so is there a way of solving this and making it not come out as a regex.

Thanks again

Backup script special characters

Hey I have a script that backups my computer every night but it crashes out when i comes across any file that has special characters that are not English like Ukranian ones or ??? marks in them. How do i get around this?

It seams to come back with file does not exist skip(S) retry(R) abort(A) but it just aborts.

Thanks


# VPSLink Sample Backup Script for WinSCP
option exclude "*.mp4; *.lnk; *.exe; *.msi; My Pictures; My Music; My Videos; @college; .metadata;"

# Comment out the next two lines to test
option batch on
option confirm off

# Connect - format: user:password@host
open user:pass@server.org

# Force binary mode transfer
option transfer binary

# Download backup file to remote directory
synchronize remote F:\+myfiles\ /home/user/recent

# Disconnect
close

# Exit WinSCP
exit

only seams to happen with script not with GUI but can not schedule the gui to run every night.
