Martin,

I found out by the owner of the SFTP that any file that gets upload gets hidden automatically. After putting the ls on the script I was able to see that it was in the correct location.

Thank you so much for all your help!
martin

You didn't answer my question. The log shows the upload. But it does not show that the file is not in the remote directory after the upload. For example add the ls command after the put.

Attached you will find the log file.

Thank you!
martin

What do you do to "see the file"? How do you check? Show us some proof, e.g. a screenshot or a log file.

Hi Martin, after looking into the script and making some changes. For some reason I don't ever see my file on the ftp can you guide me, the log file says it is transfered...

I have a file called deploy.bat which I double click.
Winscp.com /script=loadfile.txt /log=winscplog.txt


This is my loadfile.txt
open sftp://user:password@example.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
cd /user/sysbatch/
put T:\prb\file_name_%TIMESTAMP-1D#yyyymmdd%.csv
close

Upload one file with date stamp to SFTP

Hi everyone, I am new to WinSCP and I don't have a clue about scripting or programming. I have been reading how to automate a process I do each morning but I am not getting it. So each morning I have to upload this file that is a .csv into the SFTP but the file name has a date stamp of the date before file_name_20161205 but today is 12/6/2016. After that file has been uploaded it would get verified and the new version would be dropped into another folder in the same SFTP in which we get an email that means it is ready for pick up. I would like to have this script scheduled thru my windows pc unless anyone knows of another way.

I am having a hard time with the script... I am using WinSCP version 5.9.3

Now from what I understand I can use this code %TIMESTAMP-1D#yyyymmdd% and that will subtract one date out of the current date, how do I do it for powershell. However I have no clue how I can tell the script to put this file with the name file_name_20161205 to be on the sftp and how does it know where it is going to grab the file from.

{

    # Load WinSCP .NET assembly

    Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"

 

    # Setup session options

    $sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{

        Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp

        HostName = "example.com"

        Password = "mypassword"

        SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

    }

 

    $session = New-Object WinSCP.Session

 

    try

    {

        # Connect

        $session.Open($sessionOptions)

 

        $stamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd" #how do I do -1 date? "-1dyyyMMdd"?

        $fileName = "file_name_$stamp.csv"

        $remotePath = "/home/user/sysbatch/$fileName"

        $localPath = "T:\prb\$fileName"

 

        #I only need for this script to upload one file, how do I make sure it will only upload that one file and not all of them.

        # Upload files

        $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions

        $transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary

 

        $transferResult = $session.PutFiles("$localPath", "$remotePath", $False, $transferOptions)

 

        # Throw on any error

        $transferResult.Check()

 

        # Print results

        foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers)

        {

            Write-Host ("Upload of {0} succeeded" -f $transfer.FileName)

        }

    }

    finally

    {

        # Disconnect, clean up

        $session.Dispose()

    Write-Host ("Error: {0}" -f $_.Exception.Message)
