General Consultant Discussion

Anyone have experience with WinSCP? I'm looking to use it for FTP automation since it includes command line options. https://winscp.net/eng/index.php

I have written an integration application that uses it to send and get files.

You can also use PowerShell (http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/manage-files-over-sftp-powershell,1-3673.html)

Do you like the product @PhilMcIntosh? PowerShell, we should have a webinar on that for the group. I always forget about that option @SteveIwanowski, thank you both.

We have a few WinSCP scripts out there, mostly very simple file transfers (no data manipulation). For that purpose, it's a decent product and you can't beat the price.

I use Visual Cut for uploads, and downloads are not common for us to handle... the last one I did using vbscript, batch files and the Windows native command line interface for FTP. Tricky to write initially, but very portable once done.

I thought about VC but it's a hosted environment and I'm not sure about the licenses needed and customer is $ conscience right now.

Been using Core FTP for years without incident. www.coreftp.com/ftp_client_features.html

WinSCP worked well for me

Thanks for letting me know about Core FTP.

I also use core ftp. It is freeware and scriptable
