Automatic backup remote FTP with timestamp script
Hi,
I would like to have created a batch script that automatically backs up my website files using FTP protocol. Website files are located on remote FTP servers. I want that every time the backup script is run, then the files are saved in a folder with a timestamp.
Like this:
C:\Backups\Webpage_1_DDMMYYYY
C:\Backups\Webpage_2_DDMMYYYY
I have so far been created the following:
How can I add timestamp to the backup folders?
I want to create the script in batch (BAT) instead of PowerShell because the WinSCP NET Assembly and COM Library requires .Net Framework v3.5/4.0 and I do not want to install this on my Windows Server.
Thanks in advance.

I have so far been created the following:
# Automatically abort script on errors option batch on # Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous option confirm off # Connect open username@serverhost # Change remote directory cd /webpage1 # Force binary mode transfer option transfer binary # Download file to the local directory C:\Backups get /webpage1* C:\Backups\webpage1* get /webpage2* C:\Backups\webpage2* # Disconnect close # Exit WinSCP exit
