Many thanks for help – I tested script – but remote folder was not resolved with "time-date-stamp" – remote folder appears as follows:
What can I do? – thank for help in advance ...
/remote/path/%TIMESTAMP#yyyy-mm-dd%_data

Re: The opposite way
The solution is the same:
Except that WinSCP cannot create the target local directory for you. You have to create it before starting WinSCP.
E.g. from a wrapper batch file or PowerShell script.
You can still use WinSCP to generate the directory name for you:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_formatting_timestamp_batch_file
get /remote/path/* C:\local\path\data\%TIMESTAMP#yyyy-mm-dd%

for /F "tokens=* USEBACKQ" %%F in (`winscp.com /command "echo %%TIMESTAMP#%TIMESTAMP_FORMAT%%%" "exit"`) do set TIMESTAMP=%%F
mkdir C:\local\path\data\%TIMESTAMP%
rem Run WinSCP to download files to the newly created directory

The opposite way
I need the same thing but only in the opposite direction. So, I need to schedule my PC to connect to remote FTP, collect all the files & folders there and copy those to my HDD at certain interval. The most important thing is that every time it collect the data, it create new containing folder with date&time stamp in folder name on a local drive so I could have multiple backups without overwriting the old ones.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

open ftp://username:password@ftp.example.com
put C:\local\path\data /remote/path/%TIMESTAMP#yyyy-mm-dd%_data
exit

Backup local directory to FTP server with adding actual "date-time" to remote directory name
Hello everybody,
I have to do automated daily backup of local "data"-directory of a cash register system to a FTP server at a specific time (06:00 a.m).
Nn the FTP server, there should be added actual "date-time" to remote directory name. e.g.
Can you provide me with a sample script, where similar problems have been solved before or give me some hints – many thanks in advance.
