A Summary of FTP commands to download or upload files between a Mainframe and Windows System using Micro Focus.
Automate file transfers (or synchronization) to FTP server or SFTP server : : Win. SCP. Advertisements. This guide contains simplified description of automating operations on FTP/SFTP server with Win. SCP. You may want to see detailed documentation of the scripting functionality instead. Win. SCP offers scripting interface that you can use to automate many operations that it supports, including file transfers, synchronization and other operations.
I am currently writing a script that calls WinSCP, connects an SFTP session, transfers a group of files from a local server to a remote server, closes the connection. We accomplish this via a batch file (that uses an INF file) that is called with shell. You should just have to change the 'Quote Site' declarations. Macro to send file to FTP site. This is a discussion on Macro to send file to FTP site within the Excel Questions forums, part of the Question Forums category; Hello.
How to Execute FTP Commands With VBA. Visual Basic for Applications, or VBA, is a version of Microsoft's Visual Basic language, integrated into the Office suite of. SQL SERVER – Running Batch File Using T-SQL – xp_cmdshell bat file. Now to make using script easier/automatic you can: Make shortcut to it on desktop to ease execution. Either make shortcut to batch file (.bat) or enter full command.
There is also Win. SCP . NET assembly build on top of the scripting interface. If you plan to call Win. SCP from your . NET code, or if your task requires conditional processing, loops or other control structures, you should better use the . NET assembly. This guide focuses on simple automation tasks using scripting interface only. Before Starting. Before starting you should.
To automate operation, you need to find out commands necessary to implement it. For simple operations you need at least to. For example a typical script to upload a file is. Connect to SFTP server using a passwordopen sftp: //user: password@example.
Upload fileput d: \examplefile. Exit Win. SCPexit. You can have Win. SCP generate a script template for you or even a complete batch file. Assemble the commands into a script file. You can name the script file as you like. See simple example and some useful scripts.
Use the /scriptcommand line option to pass the script to the Win. SCP executable. You can embed the complete command line into a Windows batch file (. Advertisements. Using script. Now to make using script easier/automatic you can. Make shortcut to it on desktop to ease execution.
Either make shortcut to batch file (. If the wrapping batch file takes filename as command line parameter (see below) you can: Make shortcut to it on desktop and use it by dropping files on the icon. Windows automatically run the batch file and passes path to dropped file as command- line parameter. In a similar way you can put the shortcut to the batch file into Explorer’s ‘Send To’ context menu (C: \Users\username\App. Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Send. To in Windows Vista and newer).
Schedule automatic execution. Notes. When connecting to SSH host, you will need to accept its host key. When connecting to FTPS or Web. DAVS host with certificate signed by untrusted authority you will need to verify the certificate. Modifying the script automatically. You may want to modify the script automatically. For example you may want to operate it with different file each time.
For tasks involving more complex modifications, conditional processing, loops or other control structures, you should better use the Win. SCP . NET assembly.
For simple modifications, you can pass the variable parts of the script from command line. Execute the above script using syntax.
You can also use environment variables in the script. Alternatively, you can generate new script file each time.
To automate that, make a wrapper script file. For simple tasks you can use built- in Windows scripting functionality from batch file (.
For complex tasks, you will need to use some scripting language, such JScript or VBScript from Windows script host or PHP or Perl. Following example shows batch file that takes filename on command line and generates Win. SCP script file to upload that file to remote server.
Generate temporary script to upload %1echo open mysession > > script. Execute scriptwinscp. Delete temporary scriptdel script. Now you can run the batch file like (supposing you have saved it to file upload. See more hints on using parametrized batch file. See guide to advanced scripting for examples of script generation using more powerful languages.
Advertisements. Checking script results. To check results of the script you can.
Check exit code of Win. SCP (exit code is the only relevant and reliable way to check if script completed successfully). See example below and FAQ.
Save and inspect log file. XML log format is recommended. Use command- line parameter /xmllog. Save and inspect output of the script. Use output redirection. Once you find out what was the result of the script, you can perform any action you like.
E. g. after evaluating exit code of Win. SCP, you can send a “success” or “error” email.
For that use any command- line email client you like, e. You should also make the batch file indicate a result in its exit code, particularly if it is called from some parent system (for example SSIS). See an example batch file. ERRORLEVEL%neq 0 goto error. A similar error handling is used in the batch file template that Win. SCP can generate for you.
Where for example content of success_mail. From: script@example. To: me@example. com. Subject: Success. The files were uploaded successfully.
If you require checking results of each command individually, you should better use the Win. SCP . NET assembly. Alternatively, see guide to advanced scripting for examples of checking script results (including XML log parsing) using more powerful languages and guide to interpreting XML log for advanced scripting using C# language.
Example. See example in scripting documentation.
