Issue with Synchronize Command

Hi all, Firstly I am a bit of a noob so sorry if this is an easy solve. I have just setup a FTP server on a tablet in my warehouse and I wanted to sync the pictures to a folder on my desktop.

I tested this using the below on my own PC:-
@echo off
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
/log="C:\Users\james.QUINTA\Desktop\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul ^
/command ^
"open ftp://anonymous:anonymous%%40example.com@10.0.0.65:2221/" ^
"lcd C:\Users\james.QUINTA\Desktop\Pictures" ^
"cd /DCIM/Camera" ^
"synchronize local" ^
"exit" ^
 
set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
echo Success
) else (
echo Error
)
 
exit /b %WINSCP_RESULT%
This works a treat and very reliable. However when I move the same to the other PC I am getting the below on the log:-
. 2022-06-23 10:17:02.234 Using FTP protocol.

I have tried making the S a small s but this has not affect whatsoever,

Re: Issue with Synchronize Command

This is not really WinSCP question. It's your batch file syntax that is wrong:
Why are some WinSCP scripting commands specified in a batch file not executed/failing?
You need to indent the wrapped lines. And the ^ after the exit line should not be there:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
  /log="C:\Users\james.QUINTA\Desktop\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul ^
  /command ^
  "open ftp://anonymous:anonymous%%40example.com@10.0.0.65:2221/" ^
  "lcd C:\Users\james.QUINTA\Desktop\Pictures" ^
  "cd /DCIM/Camera" ^
  "synchronize local" ^
  "exit"
I have no idea how can the script work on any machine.

Problem with Synchronize Command

Martin

Thanks for the help I will test this now. Also I am looking to run the script in a loop but is seems WinSCP does not support the goto function of script.

Is this the case or is there another command I could use to constantly check the remote directory and any changes immediately download to the local one?
