WinSCP with commandline and script

2009-07-08 11:48

I have a little script for using winscp.com as SFTP Client.

The important execute is:
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP3\winscp3.com" /console /script="C:\Program Files\WinSCP3\example.cmd" /log=winscp.log /timeout=30

And now a little example from our logfile:

. 2009-07-08 12:30:01.040 Using SSH protocol version 2
. 2009-07-08 12:30:01.072 Doing Diffie-Hellman group exchange

. 2009-07-08 12:30:26.337 Weitere 25 Sekunden warten? ()
. 2009-07-08 12:30:26.337 Attempt to close connection due to fatal exception:

. 2009-07-08 12:30:26.337 Closing connection.

You can see, the other side has not give a reply in 25 seconds.
BUT, i used the timeout time with 30 seconds ..
WHY closed the connection (winscp) after 25 seconds ??!!??
Any ideas??

I am using the v4.1.9 release.

From your command-line I suppose that you open session from the script using open command (what is right). In that case you have to add -timeout switch directory to open command. /timeout switch on commandline applies only if you open session from command line parameter (what would be wrong for scripting).

TimeOut

2009-07-13 10:23

Sorry ... but i dont understand this.
How is see, i can ONLY set the timeout in the commandline.
I think, i cant set a timeout command in the script (where i have "option batch on" and my "open xxxxxxx" and so on).
I looked in the docu and cant find the timeout for that.

Please, maybe you can write me more to do that.

My command line call, you can this this in my first post.
My script look like this:

#
# Automatically answer all prompts negatively not to stall
# the script on errors
option batch on

# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous
option confirm off

# Connect
open XXXXXXXXXX

# Force binary mode transfer
option transfer binary

cd /EARN/outbox/
get *.* C:\Inetpub\ftproot\Eingang\
rm *.*

cd /EARN/inbox/
put C:\Inetpub\ftproot\Ausgang\*.* ./

# Disconnect
close
# Exit WinSCP
exit
