Command line options of GET

2006-02-17 11:46

I'm trying to download some files, using
winscp-Scripting command get
For eg:

get *.tar p:\target-dir\

so far it's working ...

Initialisiere...
Suche entfernten Rechner...
Verbinde mit entferntem Rechner...

prog_vmware_vmx.tar       |          0 kB |    0,0 kB/s | binary |   0%
Die lokale Datei 'prog_vmware_vmx.tar' existiert bereits. Überschreiben?
Neu:            266240 bytes, 16.02.2006 12:04:45
Vorhanden:      266240 bytes, 16.02.2006 12:04:45
(J)a, (N)ein, A(b)brechen, An(h)ängen, Nur n(e)uere, Ne(i)n für alle, Ja für (a)lle:

So my question: Is ist possible to add a option to the
get command for downloading only newer files to
to the target-Dir ? Or what would be a useful way to
do this in a batch-file?

Thanks for soon response!

You can do that only by setting the option as default in configuration. You can do that by providing custom INI file to the WinSCP process that runs your script.

Sound great, could you explain what should be added to the .ini file.

Thanks a lot!

Please, setup what you need in GUI and see what is set in the INI file yourself.

I have set up my downloads in a GUI. I do not see any variables in my ini file that would indicate "copy only newer" files. What names should I be looking for?

It would be nice to have a feature in the GUI to export an ini file for 1 machine. I have over 20 servers that I connect to regularly -- all with different settings. I would like to quickly generate 20 different ini files for automation.

Unfortunatelly, this option is not persistent, so it is not configurable via INI. I have noticed it only now, I'll fix it with the next release.

That's quite specific request :-)

NewerOnly

I see a NewerOnly=0 steeing in my INI file but I do not see what the setting has to be to get only newer files. I have tried 1 (since the default is zero). I also can not find this setting in the GUI. Is the feature available when scripting?
