Just encountered same issue I found that using confirm option can disallow the prompt for overwrite file.
Share here for others.


option batch on #enables batch mode. In batch mode, any choice prompt is automatically replied and any input prompt is cancelled (after short time interval).
option confirm off #set confirm to off to allow overwrites

For "synchronize" the overwrite confirmations are disabled implicitly.

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an ftp program and i have it working and copying files, however its always prompts to overwrite. What i want is when this screen prompts a bit of code to automatically say no to all overwrites. Hopefully that makes sense my code is below:

option batch abort
option batch off
open serverbackup
put c:\test\*.* /lewis/test/*.* -preservetime
close serverbackup

this is the first part of the script saved in a tmp file.

@echo on
rem WinSCP Server Automated Backup.
rem Created for Quantact.com

rem Settings.

rem Server Login
set session=serverbackup

rem Folder Settings.
set server_folder=/var/www/html/
set local_folder=c:\Server_Backup\Archives\

rem Path to winscp.
set winscp_path=c:\Progra~1\WinSCP3\WinSCP3.com



rem Execute script
%winscp_path% /script=script.tmp %filelog%

rem Delete temporary script
del script.tmp

thats the second part saved as a txt file.


set winscp_path="C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe"

%winscp_path% /console /script=script.tmp

pause

and that part is saved as a .bat file

Thanks
