Appending in scripts

Hi!

Just wondering is there any way to append to an existing file with a script? Options batch on and confirm off force an overwrite. I also tried i/o redirection with winscp.com (with batch off and confirm on so that the dialog is presented) the answer to the dialog didn't execute at the right time. The dialog was canceled and answer tried to execute after that...

Having a really big trouble finding a cmd based sftp-client that does append...

WinSCP does not support that. Do you want to append on upload or download?

Yeah... I thought so. The appending should happen on upload. Managed to solve the problem by appending a date to the files and let the receiving end parse them. You can consider this a feature request now. Nice program anyway, thanks! :D

Hi Martin

Just want to second that request. We are currently uploading data to a SFTP server, and once in a while the users of these will grab the data by moving them to his own PC. Once a day, data are appended to this server.

Since we can never know when the user is going to remove the data, the only way I could think of was to download from the server (sync remote->local), append to the maybe present file and upload again. But the file is growing, and I feel that there should be an easier way than to download and then upload 100MB+, basically just to see if it there.

Hi,
Just wanted to know if there are any SFTP servers supporting Append. If yes, could you please name a few.

Thanks.
