Bug: "get" silently skips files with same name (-ext) as dir

2012-08-01 00:58

Hi. First post here. Apologies for any info/protocol I've missed; will correct ASAP. Also apologies if this is a known bug; couldn't find mention of it with any searches I thought of.

WinSCP Version 4.3.9 (Build 1817) (OS 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2)

I'm using the following script to transfer two files, one of which has the same name as its containing directory (except for extension):

get -resume "/mnt/sdd1/debacle/files/FooBar/FooBar.txt" "Y:\MyRoot\FooBar\FooBar.txt"
get -resume "/mnt/sdd1/debacle/files/FooBar/baz.jpg" "Y:\MyRoot\FooBar\baz.jpg"

The second file transfers as expected. The first is silently skipped.

As a workaround, I can rename the first file, e.g. to just Foo.txt, and that does the trick.

As far as I can tell, this happens if and only if the source filename without extension matches its containing directory's name.

Log snippet:

I should also mention:
- since I'm not renaming the files (unless they have illegal Windows filename characters), I tried omitting the destination filename - no change
- I'm doing one file at a time on purpose; I have an automated process that runs a concurrent WinSCP instance per file, to maximize my bandwidth usage
- haven't found time to try to compile/debug the source yet
- WinSCP rocks! :)

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile.

[RESOLVED] Escaping set pattern characters in file masks

2012-08-19 23:26

prikryl tracked this down to user error.

The source location for commands like 'get' and 'put' is always a mask: https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask#basic

In my case I had '[' characters in some of my filenames, so in C# I now do a .Replace( "[", "[[]" )

Don't think there's a flag/option to treat the source location as a literal filename instead of a mask; might be a nice feature to have?
