Re: DOS Bat file parameter value passed to WinSCP script does not work within the PUT command to specify

Thanks Martin, of course it would be %5%, I can't believe I didn't spot that. Thanks for replying and saving me a lot of hassle and time.

Re: DOS Bat file parameter value passed to WinSCP script does not work within the PUT command to specify

What you are passing as %6 is 5th parameter of WinSCP. So you need to refer to it by %5%.

DOS Bat file parameter value passed to WinSCP script does not work within the PUT command to specify

WinSCP version: 5.21.1

Hi,
Is it possible to pass a parameter to a Bat file and then from the Bat file to a WinSCP DOS Script to specify the destination file name within the put command?

For example -
My Bat file contains the following command - 
Winscp.com /ini=nul /script=Mycripts\FTPS-to-site.txt /XMLlog=%5.xml /loglevel=1 /parameter %1 %2 %3 %4 %6

I am calling the Bat file with 6 values being passed to it.

One of the lines in my WinSCP script "FTPS-to-Site.txt" is - 
put -preservetime "%3%"\"%4%" %6%

Where %3% is the source path and %4% the file name. %6% should be the new file name value.
I have tried different variations like %6, "%6%", %%6% which all result in the destination file being named %6% or %6 etc... It seems WinSCP is taking any text entered after the "%4%" literally and not as a parameter.

Any suggestions please?
Thanks.
