Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 36	Hello All, I have to transfer the files from our server to a remote location using sFTP. Is it possible to send the files using a single command instead of the script/batch file? After authentication, we need to traverse to a path and then drop the file. User:- Test_User Server:- remotelocationalias Private Key:- D:\SomeLocation\Private_Key Landing Path:- landing_directory I would appreciate if explanation is supported with an example or a Wiki link. I tried to look this up on Pragma Wiki/documentation, but could not find a suitable solution. Regards, Purvesh Kulkarni.

You must use a script to list the commands that should be performed after authentication. You can use scp with a single command line, if your server supports scp file transfers. Using scp, your command would look something like this: scp -oidentityfile2=d:\somelocation\public_key Test_User@remotelocationalias:landing_directory\file Using sftp you would need a script with the following: put file Your command line would then look like: sftp -oidentityfile2=d:\somelocation\public_key -b batchfile test_user@remotelocationalias Full instructions on using sftp with a batch file can be found at www.pragmasys.com/ssh-server/topics/idh-sftp.htm.

However, the file is delivered to the destination. Checking the Pragma documentation, successful transfer should return 0. Can you help me understand and fix this? I wish to raise an error flag, if return code is a failure.
