Upload of text files using command line

2008-02-18 14:53

Hi,

I set up WinSCP to transfer a txt file to an SFTP server. The file is transferred but the format changes. Are there any option to specify transfer mode and file system (win/unix) in command mode? I can't find any info about it.

I use the sample file for scripting and start it from SQL server on a Windows server. FTP server is using Globalscape SFTP server and I believe it is a Windows server, though I'm not sure.

I use

option batch on
option confirm off
open xxx:[email protected]
put e:\data\1.txt
close
exit

Need to know how I can force Bin instead of ascii, which is used by default. That was the problem.

Edit 2024:
Use [m]-transfer[/m[ switch to select the transfer mode:

Though the "binary" mode is the default.

@arwind: Do you mean that it does not work, when you need to specify port number in script? What protocol is the server using?
