Synchronize remote with local and exclude subdirectories

2017-10-22 10:59

I've this directory locally that I'd like to synchronize with a remote server. (I want my remote server to look like the local directory)

/DIR
 -> /A
 -> /B
 -> /C

I would like to exclude subdirectories within A, B and C from being synchronized.
I also have some files in /DIR that I also would like to be excluded from being synchronized. Just files in /A/, /B/ and /C/. I don't want to accidentally delete files or folders on either local or remote.

I don't get the .bat-file to start. Can anyone please check what I'm doing wrong? It doesn't post to the log file.

    "open ftp://USER:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/ -passive=0" ^
    "cd /DIR/A/" ^
    "lcd C:\A\ ^
    "synchronize remote -delete -nopermissions -transfer=binary -filemask="|*/" * ^
    "exit"
 
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
  echo Success
) else (
  echo Error
)
 
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%

Thanks in advance!

You are missing any call to WinSCP:

winscp.com /command ^
    "open ftp://USER:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/ -passive=0" ^
...

See Automate file transfers (or synchronization) to FTP server or SFTP server

I'm sorry. I censored myself when writing the topic.

@echo off
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
  /log="F:\skrivbord\log\WinUPP.log" /ini=nul ^
  /command ^
    "open ftp://USER:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/ -passive=0" ^ 
    "cd /DIR/A/" ^ 
    "lcd C:\A\ ^ 
    "synchronize remote -delete -nopermissions -transfer=binary -filemask="|*/" * ^ 
    "exit" 
 
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL% 
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 ( 
  echo Success 
) else ( 
  echo Error 
) 
 
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%

You are missing some quotes.

Here:

    "lcd C:\A\" ^

And here:

    "synchronize remote -delete -nopermissions -transfer=binary -filemask=""|*/"" * ^

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/commandline#syntax

Also make sure that the ^'s are the very last characters on their respective lines (there cannot be any space after them).
See Why are some WinSCP scripting commands specified in a batch file not executed/failing?

@echo off
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
  /log="F:\skrivbord\log\WinUPP.log" /ini=nul ^
  /command ^
    "open ftp://USER:PASSWORD@IP:PORT/ -passive=0" ^
    "cd /DIR/A/" ^
    "lcd C:\A\" ^
    "synchronize remote -delete -nopermissions -transfer=binary -filemask=""|*/"" * ^
    "exit"
 
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL% 
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 ( 
  echo Success 
) else ( 
  echo Error 
) 
 
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%

Thank you for your corrections, Martin!

Now I at least receive an error log. It's written in my native language.

Please tell me if you would like further translation to be able to see the problem.

OK, there's one more missing quote, and the * should not be there:

    "synchronize remote -delete -nopermissions -transfer=binary -filemask=""|*/""" ^
