I then change the local directory to C:\temp, and instruct the SFTP client to copy a subfolder named "asubfolder", lastly, I instruct the client to copy a single document named atestdoc. In this example, I am opening a connection to an SFTP server (192.168.1.17) on my local network, specifying username (glasskeys) with password (somepassword). The main implementation is, as I've read, a server thing. Thus, you would have to actually convince the author of PuTTY for attempting to use 'check file'. Notice too, the script file is named uploadscript.txt, specified by the /script parameter.įinally, we examine the script file itself. First, the FileZilla SFTP support is based on PuTTY's psftp component. off REM Next line NOT needed if WinSCP folder was added to PATH REM CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP" /script=C:\temp\uploadscript.txt Notice the commented lines in the file, these lines are not needed if the option to add the WinSCP's folder to %PATH% was selected during installation. For example, this is a listing of a batch file named deploy.bat - used to start the SFTP client with script file. By using an FTP Client users can upload, download, delete, rename, move and copy files on a remote server. While most web browsers support FTP file downloads, to upload files and to perform other FTP tasks a dedicated FTP Client is needed. I kick off SFTP scripts from the command line using a traditional batch file. An FTP Client is a program designed to transfer files between two computers.

Doing this allows you to easily add the remote server's host key to WinSCP's key cache. Also, if possible, connect to the remote SFTP server first with the GUI application before connecting via the command line.
