Calling WinSCP.exe from script

[Spence32]

Hi,

In my script I am trying to call WinSCP by using:

system("WinSCP.exe /script=$workDir\\$tempScpFileName");

But the error returned is

'WinSCP.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

WinSCP is installed on my machine at C:\Program Files\WinSCP

Is there something I should be doing differently?

Thanks

Hi

Tried with full path ?

system("C:\\Program Files\\WinSCP\\WinSCP.exe /script=$workDir\\$tempScpFileName");

Not sure what you want to do ( and what WinSCP can do ) but I would probably use [tt]pscp[/tt] instead.

Thanks, that was it. I tried that before, but it threw an error on the space in the path name between Program and Files so I moved the executable to C: directly it and worked.

By the way, how would I use the full path name which included spaces, is there a wild card I could use?

Thanks

Hi

Oops. Sorry. I missed the space. This two should do it :

system("C:\\Program[red]\\[/red] Files\\WinSCP\\WinSCP.exe /script=$workDir\\$tempScpFileName");

[gray]# or[/gray]

system("[red]\\\"[/red]C:\\Program Files\\WinSCP\\WinSCP.exe[red]\\\"[/red] /script=$workDir\\$tempScpFileName");
