Winscp archive files after uploading

spider1269 · 2025-01-16

I'm wondering how everyone is archiving their files with Winscp after uploading them to a SFTP site. I have everything working except I'm archiving the entire contents of a folder after the files in the folder are uploaded. The issue is the folder is actively having files inserted and I may archive a file before it gets uploaded.

archive each file after you have uploaded it.

I'm not sure how to do that in Winscp. Every function seems to be folder driven.

Certainly not. I use

    PROCEDURE SendFile(SourceFileName: Text;DestinationFileName: Text;Overwrite: Boolean);
    VAR
      transferOptions: DotNet "'WinSCPnet, Version=1.7.0.9963, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf'.WinSCP.TransferOptions";
      transferMode: DotNet "'WinSCPnet, Version=1.7.0.9963, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf'.WinSCP.TransferMode";
      transferOperationResult: DotNet "'WinSCPnet, Version=1.7.0.9963, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf'.WinSCP.TransferOperationResult";
      overwriteMode: DotNet "'WinSCPnet, Version=1.7.0.9963, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2271ec4a3c56d0bf'.WinSCP.OverwriteMode";
    BEGIN
      transferOptions := transferOptions.TransferOptions;
      transferOptions.PreserveTimestamp := TRUE;
      transferOptions.TransferMode := transferMode.Binary;
      transferOptions.OverwriteMode := overwriteMode.Overwrite;
      // Overwrite is default. There is no option to throw an error. This code assumes, the existence of a file has been checked if Overwrite is FALSE

      transferOperationResult := WinSCPSession.PutFiles(SourceFileName,DestinationFileName,FALSE,transferOptions);
      transferOperationResult.Check;
    END;

The filename parameters include absolute or relative paths as needed, formatted according to the file system they belong to.

Thank you. I remember seeing this on the WinSCP site a while ago, but I didn't think it would work. I'll take another look at it since I now am able to use known file names.

Howdy, Stranger!
