Thank you Martin for the reply, I've another doubt, I'm not sure if the remote service delete the "scaricati" folder or not and I need it before moving files.
After some google-searches I've found an old post with the same scenario and I've added four commands rows before files moving.
I've understand the [m]option batch continue[/m] if the directory already exist, and the mkdir, but I don't understand the last two commands [m]option batch abort[/m] and [m]stat foldername[/m].

[code]
open sftp://xxx:xxx@xxx:8022/ -hostkey="xxxxxxx="
cd /out
lcd "E:\report"
get *.pdf -filemask=/scaricati/

option batch continue 
mkdir scaricati 
option batch abort 
stat scaricati

mv *.pdf /out/scaricati/*.pdf
mv *.xml /out/scaricati/*.xml

exit
[/code]

Thanks in advance and have a great w.end![/quote]

With option batch continue the mkdir would succeed, even if it failed to create a (non-existent) directory. stat foldername (in abort mode) fails, if the folder/file does not exist. So it's a way to abort the script, if it failed to create the folder.

move remote files with different extension

2019-06-05 10:45

Hi All, I've build this simple script to get only .pdf from a remote SFTP, then move the pdf's and .xml to the remote directory "scaricati".
I've try with mv *.* /out/scaricati/*.* but isn't working, I've try splitting the two mv command and it's working.

Isn't important, but is it possible to move all files extension with one command?

Thanks in advance

open sftp://xxx:xxx@xxx:8022/ -hostkey="xxxxxxx="



cd /out



lcd "E:\report"



get *.pdf -filemask=/scaricati/



mv *.pdf /out/scaricati/*.pdf

mv *.xml /out/scaricati/*.xml



exit
