How to run a python file with WinSCP?

2018-01-03 15:50

I have a php file that contains a button that works this function:

function Addmain() {
    exec ('"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /ini=nul /script=C:\Scripts\update.txt');
}

And the Addmain.txt file is:

open sftp://example:mpd@x.x.x.x -hostkey="ssh-ed25519 256 xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx"
python 'update_main.py'
close
exit

The problem is it doesn't work from EasyPHP. But if I execute the script with PuTTY, it works!!
Help please!

You would have to use call command:

call python 'update_main.py'

Though note that using WinSCP for this task is a huge overkill.
Use PHP ssh2_exec function:

Or phpseclib:
