Is there a way to open a site first on the command line, and then execute scripts?

, using the connection credentials and parameters defined in the site definition, then running scripts against that site.

In other words, something like

winscp.exe "JohnDoe" /console /loglevel=2 /log=debuglog.log /script=JohnDoe.scr

JohnDoe.scr
**********************************
TRACE JohnDoe_trace.txt
LOG JohnDoe_log.txt
#CONNECT JohnDoe - commented out

ONERROR GOTO DISCONNECT

PUT "c:\JohnDoeFiles\JohnDoe.dat"

ONERROR GOTO DISCONNECT
@LABEL DISCONNECT
CLOSE
**********************************

In general, this works. Though there are no commands like TRACE, LOG or ONERROR in WinSCP scripting.

Also for scripting, you should use winscp.com, not winscp.exe.

Ahhh. That's it. That's the problem I've having. It doesn't generate any logs, it just quickly disappears.

Ok, thanks Martin.
