With get it's remote mask, while with put it's local (Windows) mask.

Awesome! Thanks so much. That fixed it.

Re: Problem putting files newer than X amount of time

You have the syntax wrong. The wildcard in put file list supports only syntax that Windows does (basically * and ? only). See
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scriptcommand_put

You need to use -filemask to make use of WinSCP extended masks:

put *.xml -filemask=">1H"

Here's what the log looks like when I try to send files newer than 1 year, of which there are many:

Problem putting files newer than X amount of time

I'm using WinSCP 5.1.7 on a Windows XP 32-bit box. I have a directory full of .xml files. I'm trying to put files to a remote FTP server that are newer than 1 hour. It's not working. I'm sending:

put *.xml>1H

and it sends nothing. Even if I try:

put *.xml>1Y

it doesn't send anything. There are definitely files from the past hour and all files (100 or so) are from a few months ago at most. If I do:

put *.xml

then it starts sending all of the xml files.

What am I doing wrong?

Dave.
