Issue: Automated script not downloading files with no ext

Hi Martin,

I have a script that runs @ 3:20 each morning. This script has never been quite right. I have only recently discovered the "-criteria=size" switch which has resolved a problem of re-downloading files due to incorrect time stamps between servers. However, now that this switch is in place, the script doesn't seem to download files with no extension when automated?

When the script is run manually all files download fine...

I have logs showing this and can also send you the batch files that I am using to initiate the connection.


Thank you for your time and your continued support for this great application.
Cheers.

I should also add that this automation is handled via Windows 2003 scheduled tasks, which have an exit code of 0x0 always (indicating no errors for the scheduled task process at least)

Regards.

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

Thanks Martin,

Here is the log showing the error over 3 days and 2 WinSCP versions (updated to the latest to try and resolve, which did not work)

The automated run is at 3:20am each morning, so anything run outside of this time (8:30am, 9am etc) is me manually running the script.


Regards.

This mornings automated download successfully picked up the files.

I have saved the log for this also, if you can see any difference in there?

Thanks.

In both log files I can see that some file CDNZVF-M2* was downloaded to local directory (E:\Vodafone@Host.IPNZcdrs or E:\VodafoneNZcdrs). So you believe the file was not downloaded in one of the cases?

Yes.

In the first log you can see on 05/09/2010 @ 3:20am when the script ran, it downloaded the TXT file and CDNZVF-M2 file as normal. However come 06/09/2010 @ 3:20am when it ran the following day, it failed to download the CDNZVF-M2 file and only picked up the TXT file. Then that morning when I checked the job status, I saw the CDNZVF-M2 file has not been downloaded, and manually ran the job, which then got the correct file without error.

This also happened the next day 07/09/2010.


Regards.

OK, but I see no difference (in timestamp nor size) between listings from 05/09/2010 @ 3:20am and 06/09/2010 @ 3:20am, except for the M22010-09-04.txt. So if the local files are still present from 05/09/2010, there's no need to (re)download any of the CDNZVF-M2* files.

These CDNZVF-M2 files appear on the remote server every morning before 3:20am, and a new one will be there each day. So the script is sometimes downloading these files (which have no extension) and sometimes not. When I run the script manually in the morning is picks it up however, which I cannot explain.

So basically every morning @ 3:20am the script should be downloading 2 files, a TXT and one with no extension, but this is not always happening.


Cheers.

As you can see yourself in the log, there was no file added between 05/09/2010 @ 3:20am and 06/09/2010 @ 3:20am. Only on 06/09/2010 @ 8:26am two new CDNZVF-M2* files were present (and downloaded).

So it's true!

Sorry to waste your time on this Martin. I didn't notice that previously when looking through the logs... *slaps self on head*


Best Regards!
