Sync to server

Hi There,

I have my script working sort of.

I want to use a file filter to upload files to remote server.

Below is my script but it reports "nothing to syncronize"

option batch on
option confirm off
open CarHireBackup
option transfer binary
get C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\*.Dat /testremote/*.Dat
synchronize remote C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\*.Dat testremote\*.Dat
exit

What is wrong with this script?

I appreciate your help.

Best Regards,

Steve

re: Sync to server

Just an fyi - i always use a full path and put any directory with a space in it in quotes e.g. "c:\Documents and Settings\" or "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/"

your command, "get C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\*.Dat /testremote/*.Dat", should be "get </remote location/file> [local directory\renamefile.renameext]"
so your line should be "get /testremote/*.Dat C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\"
I removed the *.dat from the end of C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\ because you're not renaming files.

your command, "synchronize remote C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\*.Dat testremote\*.Dat", should be
"synchronize remote C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\ /testremote/ -filemask="*.Dat"
more than one file extension can be separated by a "; " e.g. "*.Dat; *.txt"
make sure that it's .Dat that you want and not .dat bc it may be case-sensitive, also unix uses a forward-slash, "/"

Hi There,

I cannot get this to work.
If I explain what I want to do maybe someone can show me the way.

From a directory on my PC I want to get all files with a .Dat extention and upload them to a backup directory on a server.

Would anyone know the script code to do that.

Below is the script I am trying to use and it nearly works:

option batch on
option confirm off
open CarHireBackup
option transfer binary
get C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\*.Dat /CarHireBackUp/
synchronize remote C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\ /CarHireBackUp/ -filemask="*.Dat"
exit

I don't want to syncronise just upload.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Steve.

Hi There,

I have tried a couple of other things and they look more successful but I still do not see the file.
You can see my log & script code below.

This is the log returned:

This is my Script:
option batch on
option confirm off
open CarHireBackup
option transfer binary
Put C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\BrokenWindow.TXT \CarHireBackUp\
exit


I would appreciate if anyone can see why the file is not showing.

Best Regards,

Steve.

Where do you want your files to end up? In /StWilson/CarHireBackUp?

option batch on
option confirm off
open CarHireBackup
option transfer binary
put C:\StevesStuff\CarHire14112012\BrokenWindow.TXT /StWilson/CarHireBackUp
ls /StWilson/CarHireBackUp
exit

Note the "ls" at the end will list the target directory, so that we can see, if the file is there or not.

Hi prikryl,
Thanks for your reply.

I have got this working now. Thankyou.

I have one other important request.

How do I add the date and time to the file names?
This is because I want to create the backup files but not overwrite what is already there.

So I need BrokenWindow.TXT to be BrokenWindow20121122_1450.TXT etc.

Can that be done?

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.


Best Regards,

Steve.

Hi prikryl,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Can the WinSCP script be run in a .bat file?

I have some code that appends the date & time to files for a different purpose but I could try to use that.

I am not sure how to code the script that WinSCP needs in a .bat file.

Do you have any pointers?

Best Regards,

Steve.
