Private key in the automation script

2020-03-31 17:24

Hello everyone
I need to prepare an automation script which will be sending files between 2 servers.
2nd server has username and public key set up. How to preapare a proper script with a private key ?

This is working fine when only used username and password

option batch abort
option confirm off
open sftp://USERNAME:PASSWORD@REMOTE IP ADDRESS
synchronize remote E:\data\remote\live\outgoing /toINC
exit

How it will be looking with PRIVATE KEY ?
Details:
USERNAME
REMOTE IP
PRIVATE KEY
SFTP/22

Can you help ?
Thanks
Kryst

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scriptcommand_open#privatekey

open sftp://username@hostname/ -privatekey="c:\path\to\key.ppk"

WinSCP GUI can generate a script template for you:
