Uploading multiple files with script

Hi,

i�m uploading multiple files via script to one SFTP server. Each file is done with one script. After uploading 5 files (running 5 scripts) the login to the server is not possible for the next 2 or 3 minutes.

<--- SNIP
option batch on
option confirm off
open sftp://<user>:<pw>@<ip>:<port>
session
option transfer binary
put <file>
exit
--> SNAP

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Ulrike

The simplest (but not most elegant) solution is to list all files in the one script:

option batch on
option confirm off
open sftp://<user>:<pw>@<ip>:<port>
session
option transfer binary
put <file1>
put <file2>
put <file3>
put <file4>
put <file5>
put <file6>
put <file7>
exit

But why don't you use a wildcard instead? For example, if all the files you are uploading share the same extension (for example .txt) you could do this:

put *.txt

There are other examples here:

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

The reason for uploading the files one by one is to make sure that every and each file suceeded. I�m writing the script for the upload from code. And I can only get the return code from the whole script (as far as I know). As there are multiple formats files in multiple destinations wildcards won�t work. :(

Any suggestions? Is this a known behaviour?

It seems like you have some connection limit set on your server.
