Hi Thanks - So now its working - i think there might have been a directory path error. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep the post open since we are now into the hook part.

I'm getting lost. That was a purpose of replacing the .com with .exe. To get the output into your primary terminal, not into the secondary terminal that is disappearing. So what do you see in your primary terminal now, after the .bat finishes?

Hi thanks for the reply. I tried using winscp.com vs. winscp.exe but I'm getting the same results, no second terminal like if I run the code directly through the command line. I've attached the script file we are using. Thanks so much for taking a look at this. Very grateful for the debugging help.


-----------------------------------
open sftp://%3%:%4%@%2%
cd %5%

option transfer binary
put %1%

call rm -r %6%

call unzip %5%/%1%



call mysql -u %8% -p"%9%" %10% < %7%

close
exit

Replace call to winscp.exe with winscp.com in the first place.
It would make it output any errors to your main console window, so that you can see it
See here why:

Hi,

I'm taking a crack at some automation using winscp.exe. I'm running Windows XP on a Mac with parallels 8. If I run the folowing from the command line, my code works but if I run it as a bat file (see below --- line) all I see is a blinking terminal window and nothing uploads. We have tried to get some out put to a log file, but that only works when I run the code from the terminal directly. I've had another developer run it from a pure XP machine and it works. Go figure. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.
