Qustion regarding robustness of batch script

2010-05-20 14:52

Hi there,
we are using a batch file like this:

option echo on
option batch abort
option confirm off
option reconnecttime off
option transfer binary
open user_id@host
cd remote_dir
lcd local_dir
put local_file
ls
exit

When we run that in batch mode using winscp.com and if the transfer fails for whatever reason, winscp retries, despite the fact that "option batch abort" and "option reconnecttime off" has been set.
We have fixed this disabling everything in "Preferences" - "Endurance" - "Automatic reconnect".

Is this the way it should be? Wouldn't it be better if the batch parameters over rule the setting in "Preferences".

Thanks for your thougts,
Tilo

The batch parameter governs unrecoverable errors only.
