How to replace trailing character

I am trying to download\copy some Linux Dir to a windows box, and any file\object in a Linux directory that has "RandomName@" errors in the SCP copy. It is not a folder, and I have root access... my thought is on the copy to download and change the trailing"@" to "01a", so they can be identified after the copy is done. Additionally, I am running this as a background process which the guide says it won't prompt for errors, but I find my self clicking "OK" all day long.

I looked at the grep custom search command, but it I don't see\know how to set a pattern where last character is "@" replace with [01a]


Thanks...

Sorry, I guess I forgot to mention -
I am connecting via SCP, as root
I am using v 5.5.6.0 Modified date 10/16/2014

I cannot reproduce your problem.

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

Here is the error, see attached image. I will work on getting a log uploaded. In regards to the version, it looks like I am current.

Here is a log and screenshot to go with it.

If you cannot work with the file in shell, it's unlikely you can work with it in WinSCP with SCP protocol. Did you try SFTP?

No, I have not tried SFTP yet.
It works, sort of... Isn't there a way to copy\rename on the fly, or exclude "randomnamerandomlength@" so if ends with "@" don't copy or replace it with a valid character?
Why do I get prompted to click OK, at least if that didn't happen I could let the copy run.

The problem is about inability to access the remote file, not about an inability to save the file locally with "@" at the end. So there's nothing to rename.
You can exclude them though. Use file mask *@.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask

Well, because an error occurred. Usually, you want to know that.

Should the checkbox "No confirmation for transfers" negate the warning? If not, Is there a way to stop them from showing up?

I have tried the mask of "| *@" & "*@". "*@" places this in include files, and "| *@" is exclude - In both cases I also check the box for newer files and I still get the error on file transfer.

I tried SFTP and get the same errors with transfers, any file with "randomname@".

I have tried the mask of "| *@" & "*@". "*@" places this in include files, and "| *@" is exclude - In both cases I also check the box for newer files and I still get the error on file transfer. Any thoughts as to why the filter does not exclude that file?

I also tried connecting with the SFTP connection and I get the errors on the same files with the exclude filter being applied |*@


Yes, I agree you may want to know but also in some cases as mine you just want the bulk of the data, and take a second pass after reviewing some logs.

It's not a confirmation. It's an error.

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP) using file mask "| *@".
