I cannot find the console window in winscp where I have to write Commands for automation .Can you guide those steps to me as I am new to this .

I tried to find that window from Commands -> Open Terminal in Winscp but got this error :

Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).

Thanks in advance .

VBA to download a file from WinSCP if the absolute path of remote server is not available

Hi , I am kind of a beginner in VBA. I want to download a file from remote server to local. Certain files get stored in subdirectories of a root folder and the subfolder names can be dynamic. I have the file name with me. I need to download the file from winscp to location without giving exact path

path : /u/test/
filename: a.txt
if this file is stored in /u/test/*/ (any subfolder , how can write the shell command)

errorCode = wsh.Run("C:\winscp577\WinSCP.com /command ""open user:pwd@domain"" ""lcd " & tempLocation & """ ""get /u/test/*/a.txt""" ""exit""", windowStyle, waitOnReturn)

The above code does not seem to work

So do you want to download all files stored anywhere in a remote directory tree to the same local folder?

See https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23759

Though you cannot use Session.EnumerateRemoteFiles in VBA. So you have to recursively use Session.ListDirectory.
