Create delay in between File downloads

We need to create a delay between file downloads
We have a batch file that only pulls "neweronly" from an SFTP server
is there a way to put a pause in between files?

Not in a simple WinSCP scripting.

But you can do anything you want if you use WinSCP .NET assembly from a PowerShell script.

Just implement Session.FileTransferred event and use Start-Sleep cmdlet there
