If the parameter can be folder or file, you just need to make the include mask accept both files and folders:

synchronize remote "C:\to_upload\" /Public -filemask="%1%;%1%\"

Or, if I use put for uploading single files with switch -filemask for example:[m:e3e8791c78]
put -resume -transfer=automatic -filemask="|my_file.zip" "my_file.zip"[/m:e3e8791c78]

can be situation where local file will be newer than remote, and it not be uploaded, because file mask switch present.

Why?

I use WinSCP in script mode.
I run it from batch: WinSCP.exe /console /script="C:\wscpcmd.txt" /parameter %prm%

wscpcmd.txt:[m:782fe1861a]
open ftp://... -passive=on -timeout=10 -rawsettings Utf=2
option batch on
option confirm off
option reconnecttime 20
synchronize remote "C:\to_upload\%1%" /Public
close
exit
[/m:782fe1861a]

where is %prm% can be single file or folder, and I don't know exists this file/folder at FTP or not.
If I upload folder to FTP - I don't know which files in this folder already exists, because I can't use -filemask.

(In this example sсript will be problem if %prm% contain single file name (not folder).)

You can do synchronize remote -filemask=filename to restrict synchronization to a single file.

Thank you, for reply and outstanding request.

Awaiting we can solve this problem in the next release WinSCP?

In other words, I need a command (or combination command/switches) like:
"synchronize remote"
but for files (not for folders)

Thanks!

Hi.

I wrote script which must upload some files to my FTP.
In which I use PUT command.

How I can say to PUT command don't upload the already existing files in remote directory?

Before WinSCP I excellent used ncftpput tool, but it don't understand russian utf-8 file names. And if I try upload same files of local and remote directory ncftpput say: "remote file appears to be the same as the local file, upload is not necessary." - is what I need.

But WinSCP in this case still upload files - do unnecessary work.

(Sorry for my English.)
