Re: Keep Local Directory Up to Date

Hi friend,
I need to keep the local directory uptodate and delete the files after transfer to local directory. Is it possible? Can u help me to make the script?
I need to delete the files of the remote directory not the local, ok?

Re: keep local directory up to date

@ntoreax: The script does not allow that, as it is. But it's easy to modify it: 
$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.FileMask = "MTN_*"
 
$differences =
    $session.CompareDirectories(
        [WinSCP.SynchronizationMode]::Local, $localPath, $remotePath, $delete,
        $False, [WinSCP.SynchronizationCriteria]::Time, $transferOptions)

(not tested)

keep local directory up to date

Replying on the topic to get a clear picture
when we do the below script 
powershell.exe -File KeepLocalUpToDate.ps1 -sessionUrl "sftp://username:password@example.com/" -remotePath "/remote/path" -localPath "C:\local\path"

is it possible to specify the type of file we want to system to download (example log files starting by MTN_xxx) let's say. If yes, how do we specify it?

In WinSCP, go to Commands > Static Custom Commands > Keep Local Directory up to Date.

I tried to use the manual commands in the shell but it says it couldn't find the commands.

How to run the script on command-line is shown in the page itself: 
powershell.exe -File KeepLocalUpToDate.ps1 -sessionUrl "sftp://username:password@example.com/" -remotePath "/remote/path" -localPath "C:\local\path"

Keep Local Directory Up to Date

Hello,

can someone please explain me how to setup this:
Keep local directory up to date (download changed files from remote SFTP/FTP server)

I want "keep local directory up to date", and I don't understand how to run this. The manual doesn't explain how to run this official extension.

I tried to use the manual commands in the shell but it says it couldn't find the commands.

Can someone explain it like ELI5?

Thanks.
