Can you please elaborate on the problem?

I was able to figure WinSCP automation out. For your info, here's what works:

1. Get WinSCP to generate the script for you. You'll need the line at the top as that contains the SSL certificate as well as a properly-formatted user and password authentication.
   
2. For some reason the instructions at the bottom of the file generated by WinSCP don't work, so instead do this;
   
3. Create a batch file, in my case I saved in c:\. The file has the following 3 lines:
   

   cd\
   cd Program Files (x86)\WinSCP
   type get_script.txt | winscp

   
   
4. create get_script.txt in Program Files (x86)\WinSCP (the standard directory it installs in), it contains the following 5 lines:
   

   open sftp://<the rest of that first line from step 1>
    
   cd /out
   lcd C:\XML
    
   get -delete *.xml
    
   exit

   
   
5. your files will appear in C:\XML.
   

You have to use the type command in the batch file, simply listing the commands stops working as soon as you're in WinSCP's prompt (it has its own prompt).

I hope this comes in handy later, thank you and good luck.

It does not look like you have a problem with get -delete but rather with an authentication.

Can you authenticate in WinSCP GUI?

If you can, then have WinSCP GUI generate a code template for you:

Hey guys, so I've created bunn_get.txt in C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP and it goes like this:

And I've created bunn_edi.bat in c:\

Nothing's happening. When I try to open the terminal window in WinSCP, I get the error:

Any ideas?
