Upload files younger than 2 days

2021-05-25 08:45

Hi, I want to upload .bak files younger than 2 days to another location. When specifying exact name of file it uploads but when I use filemask, it fails.

open sftp://(destination) -hostkey="ciphers"
option confirm off
lcd (location)
cd (remote location)
put *.bak>2D
exit

Is this line right?

put *.bak>2D

The log returns this, so probably the syntax is wrong, i tried many options but nothing worked.

File or folder '*.bak>2D' does not exist. ("System Error. Code: 123.

. 2021-05-25 09:42:11.751 The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect")
* 2021-05-25 09:42:11.751 (EScpSkipFile) File or folder '*.bak>2D' does not exist.

It should be:

put *.bak -filemask=>2D

Could it be because Im sing very old version of WinSCP? (4.3.7) on Windows Web Server 2008
