How to write script?

Question

Hi

I am new to scripting in the task scheduler to copy files from one location in WinSCP to another location within the WINSCP

I have managed to create a Task but getting stuck on the New action stage Particularly when scrip, add argument section.

The file resides in \sftp3\sftp\packnet here /mnt/sftp2 and I want to move it to /root/mercury/packnet

Now, how do I put this into the task scheduler to Automate every 15 minutes?

Please let me know if you need further explaination

thank you

Hi,

To run a PowerShell script in a scheduled task, specify powershell.exe in Program/script and -file "C:\path\of\script.ps1" in Add arguments. In the PowerShell script say C:\winscp.ps1 you can add the winscp commands like

winscp.exe "your site"

I don't use WinSCP but you can refer to the WinSCP site for the detailed commandline options.

winscp.net
