If/else or if file exists commands possible?

2013-03-01 18:52

I am using winscp.com scripting and basically trying to first check if a file already exist. If it does, then I want to cancel the rest of the script. I can "fake" this by adding this to my script:

call if [ -d %MY_FILE_NAME% ]; then echo "Already using current version"; exit; fi

as that breaks the "session" and causes all other commands to just crap out with
No Session.
No Session.
No Session.
No Session.

but is it possible to have a clean exit from the winscp script itself?

Thanks

First, for script that involve any conditional processing, using WinSCP .NET assembly is recommended:

Anyway, make sure you start your script with "option batch abort"
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scriptcommand_option
And make your "call" command return code >= 2

Unknown command if

2016-03-31 01:35

Hi guys,

I am executing script from windows using batch file and calling winscp internally, i want to perform conditional operation on linux server.
When I execute any if statement it gives me unknown command if.

Please help me, I just need to check if file exists on particular linux path, if not then move file from one linux path to above linux path.
