I can't assign files with batch file, it stays in the folder.

2021-09-23 09:52

I want to transfer a file with private key with SFTP in WinSCP. I have no problem connecting with the user, but I cannot access the folder on the other side, no matter what I do, can you help with this?
I can manually transfer files through the application.
In addition, I can access the folder with cd / from WinSCP and transfer files manually with put.

option batch on
option confirm off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /command "open sftp://xxx:xxxx@sftp.xxx.com:22 -hostkey="rsa-key-20210922" -privatekey="C:\app\xxx_private.ppk" -passphrase="xxxxx""
option transfer binary
cd /simple/millnet/xxx
put "C:\app\deneme.txt"
close
exit

Your code is a strange mix of batch file and WinSCP script.
Basically you have this problem:

Hello there,
Thank you for the return, but my problem does not have a solution in the given link. I'm connecting with the script, but I can't access the other party's folder and send with put. Script hangs in winscp.

Please read the article carefully. You have that problem. Only the open command it correct. That's why you can connect, but the rest of your script is not processed.

and key=""ssh-keysa is my ...""" I need enough processing from the evaluations in my pp file

winscp.com /command "open sftp://... -hostkey=""ssh-rsa ...""" "put ""C:\my file.dat"""
                    <-           Script command 1           -> <-  Script command 2  ->

Just do what the article says:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /command ^
    "open [rest of your open command]" ^
    "cd /simple/millnet/xxx" ^
    "put ""C:\app\deneme.txt""" ^
    "close" ^
    "exit" ^

Or put all commands on a single line or even better to a separate script file, if the batch syntax is too complex.
