Re: Bat/Script file not working

Run batch file as Administrator.

I copied his script and pasted it into notepad and each line has an extra space at the end so if you copied his script, saved it without changing anything and tried running it, I'm sure it would fail.

That's correct. There are actually no spaces after the ^'s in my post. But unfortunately, it is rendered with spaces.

Well as a .BAT file your code isn't working. After starting up winscp.com it does nothing. When I type exit and enter the bat files continues.
martin

You have this: 

C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\WinSCP\winscp.com ^

/command ^

option batch off ^

option confirm on ^ 

open ftps://*:*@datatransfer.cz.nl ^     

CD Incassopartner2CZ ^ 

CD Input ^ 

put C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\Bestanden\ /prc/Incassopartner2CZ/Input ^


And I've asked you to do this: 

C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\WinSCP\winscp.com ^

    /command ^

        "option batch off" ^

        "option confirm on" ^

        "open ftps://*:*@datatransfer.cz.nl" ^

        "CD Incassopartner2CZ" ^

        "CD Input" ^

        "put C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\Bestanden\ /prc/Incassopartner2CZ/Input" ^

        "exit"



You are missing the indentation (leading spaces), double-quotes around commands and the exit command.
And on many lines, you have spaces after the ^. That's not allowed. The ^ must be the very last character on the line.

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_batch_file

I'm attaching a fixed batch file.
Cwaldschmit

Here is the .BAT file
martin

Remove all information you do not want to share.
Cwaldschmit

I can send the bat file but I can't give you the password of the server. Is that a problem?
martin

Your batch file is still not, what I've shown you to use.

Please attach your batch file.
Cwaldschmit

Fort some reason its not opening the connection. The password does exist a & could that be the problem?
martin

You have to use the ^'s in the batch file.
Cwaldschmit

This is the result
martin

OK, assuming your batch file is called upload.bat:
Open console (cmd.exe) and type:

type upload.bat
upload.bat

And post a screenshot of the result.
Cwaldschmit

It only starts winscp in command promt but doesn't do anything else at all.
martin

I mean that you copy and paste the code from my post to a .bat file, exactly.

There's no upload.txt involved.
Cwaldschmit

How do you mean exactly?
I've been trying out some stuff atm
I got a .bat file now that activates the .txt script.
But for some reason it says Host "upload.txt" does not exist
martin

The ^'s are a batch file syntax. It does not work in the cmd.exe console. If you want to test it, add the command to a batch file and execute that.
See also https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_batch_file

In the cmd.exe console, you have to remove the ^ and put everything on a single line.
Cwaldschmit

I've tried out your code in CMD. And it does nothing except starting up winscp in cmd. All other commands are unknown.
martin

Re: Bat/Script file not working

Your code is just wrong.

This is the correct syntax: 

"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^

  /log="C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul /loglevel=2* ^

  /command ^

    "option batch continue" ^

    "option confirm on" ^

    "open ftps://PRC:*@datatransfer.cz.nl" ^

    "CD Incassopartner2CZ" ^

    "CD Input" ^

    "put C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\Bestanden\* /prc/Incassopartner2CZ/Input/" ^

    "exit"

Bat/Script file not working

Hello,

I've got the following problem. I can't get the following code to work automatic trough a .BAT file or with A script:

batch continue
option confirm on
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
/log="C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul /loglevel=2*^
/command ^
"open ftps://PRC:*@datatransfer.cz.nl
CD Incassopartner2CZ
CD Input
put C:\Users\PC0102\Desktop\cz2\Bestanden\ /prc/Incassopartner2CZ/Input


When I put this code in my cmd it's working perfect (See log 1). When I try the same code in a .BAT file or with a .BAT file who calls on a script its only connecting to the server and isn't doing anything anymore.(see log 2) Is there anyone who could help me with this problem?
