Copy AIX Fails and Stops Job

I have a client who needs an old AIX server backed up. We can only use FTP to do this, and we need to sync the entire root directory. I am able to copy all files with the exception of socket files. That's fine, because we are mainly after program data, but when the socket file fails to copy it kills the entire job. Is there any way to get around this and allow the job to sync if a file fails?


Script:

File1.bat

@echo off
echo ========================== %DATE% ====================== >> WinSCP.log
winscp FactsServer /script=E:\directory\File2 >> WinSCP.log
echo. >> winSCP.log
exit

File2

synchronize local E:\directoryBAK /
exit

The only issue I can see with this is that I will need to compile a list of socket file names. Being a Unix server they don't have extensions. Although it's possible, and I'm not completely against it. I am curious if there is a way to select the 'Ignore' option in the script?
