Thanks! The slash at the end, plus putting the whole path in quotes solved the problem. I appreciate the response to a dumb question.

Correct command would be:

Note the backslash at the end. Read "help get".

Hi!

I'm having a problem copying files from a Unix machine to a Windows machine for backup purposes. It works fine using the WinSCP GUI interface, but runs into trouble when scripting it. Here's the contents of my bat file:

winscp3 /console /script=C:\Scripts\backups.txt


Here's the contents of backups.txt:

option batch on
option confirm off
open xxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (hidden for security purposes)

cd colorado1/current
option transfer binary
get * E:\Misc Data\linux_backup\colorado1\current

close
exit


Here's the output when I run the script:

Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

Session 'xxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' closed.
No session.


The line"'E:\Misc Data\linux_backup\colorado1\current' is not file!" is the error...it works fine if I just copy the files to the root of the E:\ drive, but it errors out if I try to copy the files to a sub-directory. Maybe it's just a syntax problem...any ideas about how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Donnie
