Using Winscp.com in a Batchfile with Escape characters
Hello!
I am writing a batchfile to automatically upload a file to an sftp-server.
Using the following code works fine:
But using the following code which I have copied from the documentation produces errors:
I have copied the codesample above from the documentation and WinSCP either says "Unknown command: ^" after executing the "open ..." line (so the second ^ is not recognized) and the following WinSCP-commands "put..." and "exit" are then interpreted by cmd in the batch file and not WinSCP as part of its commands.
The other error I get from WinSCP is "Unknown command: open user@sftp.psubdomain.server.com -privatekey=C".
I have not figured out, which error is triggered when and I don't know what is wrong as the logfile simply seems to repeat these errors.
Thanks for your help!
