Getting the remote directory listing into a local file

2013-12-11 16:22

Suppose I login with this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open sftp://UserName:Password@site.sftpSite.com"

what next command can get the directory into a local file

winscp>dir e:\data\dir.txt

winscp>dir > e:\data\dir.txt

or, can it be something like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open sftp://UserName:Password@site.sftpSite.com" "cd \OUT" "dir e:\data\dir.txt"

Should it be /console or /command

You cannot redirect an individual script commands to a file. You can:
– Redirect whole WinSCP output to a file: winscp.com /command ... > out.txt
– Redirect remote command to a remote file and download it: call ls > out.txt and get out.txt
– Enable XML logging and parse the listing out of the XML log:
