Use ssh-keygen to set up a public key for automatic logins.

The use SCP, instead of SFTP in the form:
  scp my_file user@host:\mydir

Hope this helps.

Sorry for that...but what is SCP?

OK...
I'm using now a Sample bat which is the following...:


@echo off
GOTO EndRemarks

After you changed this script, you should remove everything BEFORE the line that reads "@echo off" above.

This bat-file will automatically ftp new files to an ftp-server.
It uses the ftp program as provided by Microsoft.

This .bat file has some simple checks to see if you have configured it properly.
When a check fails, a message will popup to warn you.
These checks can be disabled by setting the DEBUGBAT option to N.

REM    If a problem is detected, a message will popup to warn you.
REM    When you are satisfied with your settings, you should
REM    set this option to a value other than Y.
SET DEBUGBAT=Y

rem
rem FTPSERVER
rem    the ftp server name

Where do i need the bat for connecting and put files to Secure FTP Server using WinSCP?

I use winscp, watchdirectory and waitdone to mirror 2 servers, I haven't looked at or changed the code in a while but it works thanks to the help of Gert, below is it take a look it might help. This is what I have watchdirectory fire. Also note the line that has SavedSession@YourServer.Com is a WinScp saved session with the password. Hope it helps.

if exist C:\WinSCPBatch\Folderinfo.txt goto :updatesent

echo option batch on >> "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"
echo option confirm off >> "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"

start /min C:\WinSCPBAtch\waitdone.bat

if exist C:\WinSCPBatch\sentinel\sentinel.txt goto :updatesent

echo option batch on >> "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"
echo option confirm off >> "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"

rem start /min C:\WinSCPBAtch\waitdone.bat

:updatesent
echo hello >> C:\WinSCPBAtch\Sentinel\sentinel.txt
rem is there already a synchronize command present in this file?
FINDSTR /L "put ""%WD_FILE%"" " "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"
if %errorlevel% == 0 GOTO :AlreadyInFile

echo cd "/home/%WD_RELDIR%" >> "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"
echo put "%WD_FILE%" >> "C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt"


:AlreadyInFile




This is the waitdone.bat

:again
C:\WinSCPBAtch\nothingsChanged\nothingsChanged.exe 10 C:\WinSCPBAtch\Sentinel
if %errorlevel% == 1 goto nochanges
goto again
:nochanges
c:
cd \WinSCPBatch
rem  rename folderinfo so if new changes are detected, they will
rem  be written to a fresh folderinfo.txt
ren folderinfo.txt scriptfile.txt
echo exit >> scriptfile.txt
winscp3.exe SavedSession@YourServer.Com /console /script=c:\WinSCPBAtch\scriptfile.txt
del C:\WinSCPBatch\scriptfile.txt
if exist C:\WinSCPBatch\folderinfo.txt GOTO again
del C:\WinSCPBAtch\sentinel\sentinel.txt
exit
