Create a Session from the command line interface

What I want to do is have my program be able to use WinSCP to ftp a file to a server.
I was told that having it create a new temporary session every time I go to upload a file was bad for performance and would cause issues with the server. as a result I'm trying to find a way to check if a session exists if not save one with the given settings, if it does use it to upload the file.

Is there away to do this?

Not sure what to suggest, not knowing your complete workflow.

But in general, you should assemble one script file with list of all files to be uploaded and than execute the script at once.

Keeping a "move files" process open for full day

Keepuptodate will not delete from remote site, synchronize updates the whole structure, not just one folder.

Therefore I use Put- delete to operate a 1-minute interval polling file transfer task. It is dumb, right?

How could I move away from this billion-session-openings solution, e.g. open session once and before running the put/get, to check whether the connection exists and reopen if it is down.

Use -delete switch

Use file mask to narrow the synchronization.

Use WinSCP .NET assembly:
