Winscp- want ot upload multiple files

Hi,

I am using winscp.exe to upload the file to server, but i am face some problem while uploading the files.
If i send a file by using the command PUT abc.txt then the file is uploaded successfully.
But i want to upload multiple file so i used below command.

PUT *.csv or PUT *.* command it says the file not found.

Can you please suggest on this and give a solution the error.

Thanks in advance

What is the actual problem?
1) There are files macthing the mask and WinSCP does not find them
2) There are indeed no files macthing the mask and you want WinSCP to silently do nothing
Also what version of WinSCP are you using?

Hi,

Thanks for your reponse.
I want to upload a file to server using SFTP and for that i use winscp.exe.(using GUI working fine) winscp version 3.7.1
now i want to automate the file transfer.
I tried the below script for automation:
Batch file
start "D:\new test\" winscp.exe /console /script=sample.txt"

Sample.txt
open username:password@ipaddress:10022
option batch on
option confirm off
cd /filename
put "Z:\*.csv"
now when iclick on bat file it connect to server and get stoped in the put command and shows an error file not found,but when i give file put filename.csv then the file get uploded.

Your SAMPLE.TXT script seems flawed.

Try this:
Sample.txt
# Automatically abort script on errors
option batch abort
# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous
option confirm off
# Force binary mode transfer
option transfer binary
# Establish the connection
open username:password@ipaddress:10022
# Change the Local Directory
lcd "Z:\"
# Change to the correct Remote directory
cd /<RemoteDirectory>
# List the local files
lls
# List Remote Files
ls
# Upload *.csv
put "*.csv"

This will give you a list of the Local Directory and the Remote Directory so you can be sure you're looking at the correct locations.

I'm assuming that Z: refers to a mapped network drive? Pls be aware that this won't be available if you're planning on running this script as a scheduled task, unless you map it manually in the tasks batch file.

You're better off using this command to be universally accessible:
# Change the Local Directory
lcd "\\servername\share"

Hope this helps.

Consider using a newer version. 4.3.7 stable or 5.0.5 beta

Hi,
Thanks for sample script,but i am getting the same error.
i followed the same step which you have given.but i am getiing the below error
winscp>put *.CSV
*.csv 0kb 0.0kb/s binary 0%
file or folder '*.csv' does not exit
but when i give filename.csv transfer successfull shows below message.
winscp>put filename.csv
filename 0kb 0.1kb/s binary : 100%


but i want to transfer multiple file at a time.

Thanks and Regards,
Gnanasundram

Can you paste the output of both of these commands please?

# List the local files
lls
# List Remote Files
ls

3.7.1 does not support file masks in scripting commands. Please upgrade to the latest version.

Why did you install v4.3.3 and not the latest version 4.3.7?

Hi Martin, or anybody..
Is it possible to control the order of files uloading on the server? I have .gpg and .chk files and winscp uload .chk firstly (I assume that in alphabetical order). I need to upload e.g. first.gpg, then first.chk, second.gpg then second.chk etc. Thank you!

You could either:
1) Script it externally then call WinSCP with a known list of files to transfer.
2) Run multiple WinSCP passes over your source directory, first transferring *.gpg, then *.chk.

Here's an extract of a Windows Batch script that will append file names to an existing SFTP Batch Script
--------------------------------
DIR /a-d /b *.gpd %source.path% >%SFTP.batch.filelist%
DIR /a-d /b *.chk %source.path% >>%SFTP.batch.filelist%

:: If there are no files in the source directory to transfer, leave the script.
if errorlevel==1 (@ECHO Nothing To Do - Exiting Script)&(Goto :EOF)

@ECHO File Listing Complete

:: Now echo the file names to the script, including the SFTP.OPERATION we want to perform.
@ECHO Echo the file names to the SFTP Script file
for /f "tokens=*" %%A in (%SFTP.batch.filelist%) do (echo PUT -preservetime "%%A" >>%SFTP.batch.script%)
--------------------------------

# Automatically abort script on errors
option batch abort
# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous
option confirm off
# Connect using a password
open sftp:// .....
# Change the Local Directory
lcd "E:\Export Data\"
# Change remote directory
cd /Home/
# Force binary mode transfer
option transfer binary
# List the local files
lls
# List Remote Files
ls
# Upload the files to current working directory
put *.csv
# Disconnect
close
# Exit WinSCP
exit

The following script is loading only one file to the sftp server instead of loading all the files.

I'm using winscp517 version.

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Please start a new thread and attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

"sFTPScript = sFTPScript & "Put " & LocalFolderPath &"*.*" & vbCRLF".

Thank you in advance.

Please, start a new thread. Post a complete code (your code snippet is useless) and a complete session log file.
