Is it possible in FortressSSH Enterprise Version 5.0 to transfer directories between servers? This is similar to the way mget and mput can transfer files, but I need to transfer a whole directory structure, including files. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it can be done with the built in scp server and scp client.
Use the scp command with -r recursive directiory copying feature and -p for keeping original date&time.
E.g.
scp -pr remotemachine:c:/srcdirectory .
// this will copy remotemachine's c:/srcdirectory and all its subdirectories and files to the current directory
// from where this command is issued. -p keeps the original files time and date.
scp -pr ken@remotemachine:mydir newdir
// thiis will login as ken and copy "mydir" from the homedirectory to "newdir"

Thanks Ken!
Is there a way to delete the directory from the remote server, after it has been transfered to the local server (NOTE: The directories will contain files and other directories)? I don't believe deltree will work for this task. Do you have any suggestions?

yes, use ssh shell command access and deltree -F in Windows hosts and "rm -rf" command to Linix/unix hosts.
ssh id@remotehost deltree -F dirtodelete ; for Windows hosts
ssh id@remotehost rm -rf dirtodelete ; for Linux/Unix hosts

That worked, but since this is a batch job. I need the ability to login to SSH with userid and password. Is there a way to login with the userid and password, and avoid the pasword prompt?

Try the following:
ssh -l username -A password remotehost

I tried the following at the command line, and it worked, but it does not work in my test script(see below).
%SSHPATH%\ssh.exe -A password username@255.255.255.255
cd C:
cd C:\sample_data
deltree -F TEST
mkdir TEST
I don't believe my script is waiting until after I login to the SSH Session before it continues execution. I am receiving the following error, before the ssh session opens. Can anyone advise?
008:ERROR: %SSHPATH%\ssh.exe deltree -F is an unsupported command

try this as deltree is in the same directory where ssh.exe is located:
%SSHPATH%\deltree -F TEST
or more fully
%SSHPATH%\ssh.exe -A password username@255.255.255.255 "\program files\pragma\clients\deltree -F TEST"
You should also try to put "\program files\pragma\clients"n directory in the system environment "path" variable. deltree.exe and ssh.exe are all copied there during install of our software.
