Command line using private key

2010-05-06 18:40

FYI - this works fine using the GUI interface. fails when I try and run it in batch mode.

Here is my command:

c:\pce\winscp.com scp://macsql2@www.pcesystems.com /privatekey=private.ppk

Here is the results:

C:\PCE>c:\pce\winscp.com scp://macsql2@www.pcesystems.com /privatekey=private.ppk  /script=c:\pce\script.txt

Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 1.
Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the app
lication (BASH is recommended).

Last thing, how do I have it automatically get my file once it's connected?

script.txt example:

get datamactest.zip

thanks

First, use open session command, do not specify the session on command-line for scripting.

Then, post a log files both for GUI and script.

Trying to run command line script from SQL Server job

2015-01-22 18:50

Hi,

I am trying to execute following script from SQL Server Job to upload file.

declare @ftpcmd varchar(2000)
SELECT @ftpcmd = 'D:\WORK\FTP-SYNC\FTPClient\winscp556\WinSCP.com ftp://username:pwd@files.demosite.com /timeout=60  /console /command  "option confirm off " "put D:\Work\Calendar\calendar.pdf /_sitecalendar/"  "exit"  /log=D:\WORK\FTP-SYNC\LOG_Calendar.txt /y '

It fails to upload file with output result as

Automatic actions are disabled when URL address is provided on command-line.
Opening session using command-line parameter in scripting is deprecated. Use 'open' command instead.
Connecting to files.demosite.com ...
Connected with files.demosite.com. Waiting for welcome message...

Session started.
Active session: [1] username@files.demosite.com

NULL

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

The same problem as above.

You even get a hint:

Automatic actions are disabled when URL address is provided on command-line.

The syntax you are using is wrong.

Use open command, do not specify the session URL as command-line parameter for scripting (the primary problem)
The /console has no effect when using winscp.com
There's no /y switch.

So it should be:

D:\WORK\FTP-SYNC\FTPClient\winscp556\WinSCP.com /command "open ftp://username:pwd@files.demosite.com -timeout=60" "put D:\Work\Calendar\calendar.pdf /_sitecalendar/" "exit" /log=D:\WORK\FTP-SYNC\LOG_Calendar.txt
