WinSCP Terminal Automation

Hi there,

It was mentioned that WinSCP does not support commands that require emulation or user input :?: . But, I am wondering if is there anyway for WinSCP to accept user input like "y" and "n" only?

Beside that, I am wondering why some of the output is missing from the terminal output. Everything is there but the line where asking
user input "Is the LCD completely dark? [y/n] " is just vanish from the WInSCP terminal.

[00:00:06] [fp_backlight] .......................... STARTED
Is the LCD completely dark? [y/n]

Thanks for advice.

You can use input redirection.

For the missing line, please post a session log file.

Hi Martin,

I attched the full log. As you can see from the log, the same goes to the log. The line I mentioned is missing too from the log.

[00:00:06] [fp_backlight] .......................... STARTED

I try to use winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine("y") without seeing the line appear on the output, but, it looks like it will not work too.

But, I am sure that this line appear when I am using Putty.

Thanks,
SY

I have a question... the process.standardinput.writeline will not intercept while previous proess executed with process.standardinput.wrieline had not end?

If the answer is "yes" and I still want to do so, is there anyway to do it?

Is the prompt line terminate with new line? WinSCP does not (and cannot) output lines that are not terminated yet.
By redirection, I've meant shell-level redirection on the remote side.
Also I need to stress out that you are abusing WinSCP for something it was absolutely not designed for. It's not a terminal client.

Hah.... that is the point. Output lines are not terminated yet.
So, it is right. That is not as easy as I think - it only send the input to the shell-level only.

Sorry to use WinSCP for something else. I had think it is easier with WinSCP. :mrgreen:
