Cannot log using command line

2016-12-08 17:39

Hello,

I just installed WinSCP to automate FTP transfer.

I registred the credentials in the GUI : it works fine, without any problem.

Now, I'm trying to write a batch to automate the transfer but... I cannot log, even manualy.

1. I start the command : "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" OK
2. I try to connect : open ftp://username:PASSWORD@my.ftpserver.com PROBLEM

My password don't contain any special character.

Even a pure manual login fail :

1. open ftp://my.ftpserver.com OK
2. Prompt for username OK
3. Prompt for password ALWAYS FAIL - typing, or copy/paste fail
4. But the GUI login, with same credentials works fine...

Where is the problem ???

Thanks in advance for your help.

The easiest is to have WinSCP GUI generate the script for you:

Hi,

Thanks for the answser.
I have the script, and it works.

But...
sometimes, some files of the folder to move are not transfered.

Is it possible to modify the script to ensure that all files are corectly transfered ?

My current script is :

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
/log="C:\Scripts\Logs\FTP_VM_01.log" /ini=nul ^
/command ^
"open ftp://ftp-server-01:password@user/" ^
"lcd D:\Backup_VM\01" ^
"cd Backup_VM" ^
"cd 01" ^
"put *.*" ^
"exit"

How can I update the script to ensure all files are transfered ?

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).
Name a file that should have been transferred and was not.

To generate the session log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

How can I configure the script to retry when transfer of a file failed ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
