See some examples of similar scripts.

2) If the file I am trying to download has a timestamp that is later than the one I have locally, is there anyway to overwrite the local file?

It should be done automatically. Of course you should disable overwrite confirmations. See documentation. Or maybe you are looking for "synchronize local".

I am writing a task in SSIS to use WinSCP to grab some files from an SFTP site.


Works great, downloads all of the files into the e:\SSISImports directory and moves the files on the remote side to a directory called backup. I'd like to do a few other things, but I'm unsure how.
