How open PSFTP via AT scheduler & pass variables?

Dear Sir or Madam:

I can open PSFTP using AT scheduler; however, what's the
proper syntax to pass in variables? I have done some
research. I think batch files can handle this task. VBS &
WS seem to be overkill.

My objecive is to transfer 4 hours worth of log files from
a SVR to a local box after midnight.

I assume it would be done this way:

Use AT to open PSFTP (done)

Pass these VARs to PSFTP via batch file?

psftp> open 'ip address'
login as> 'user'
password> 'pw'
psftp> cd 'directory'
psftp> 'get filename c:\filename'
psftp> exit

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

:)

Try this:

Note: The following script assumes you have already added they key to
PuTTY's cache, else you will need to add a "y" prior to the username.

Create a file with your commands in it (including the {ENTER} key and direct
it into your initial PSftp connection e.g.:

Step 1 Create a file (for example) called pscom.txt

pscom.txt
for {ENTER}Don't actually type ENTER, just hit the "Enter" key
Enter variables as required below the ---------- into this file and save it
----------
username{ENTER}
{ENTER}
password{ENTER}
{ENTER}
cd directory{ENTER}
{ENTER}
get filename c:\filename{ENTER}
{ENTER}
quit{ENTER}
{ENTER}

Step 2 create a batch file (for example) called go.bat to kick the command
and eat your psftp file.

go.bat
Enter as seen below the ----------
----------
psftp your.host.name <fcom.txt

Step 3

Run go.bat

Walaa,
Hope this works for ya

Put these commands in a file, say SCRIPT.FTP, and use that as a
redirection source for your program's stdin, like so:
PSFTP <SCRIPT.FTP
 
Thank you for responding. I had posted this using browser at MS, but
couldn't find post using browser. Finally found it in newsgroup. LOL

I will try that. Thank you again.
 
Hi,

The above methods works well if the Filename is already now. What if the filename is dynamic like created based on Date and has to ftp.
I have this issue and i am unbale to pass the Filename to PSftp file.
