SFTP

Many ISP's now only support SFTP due to the open, unsecure nature of standard FTP

As Cumulus does not currently support SFTP an external SFTP application must be used

WINSCP can be used

Looking at http://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_upload_single_file, winSCP can be used to script SFTP

You have to run it by hand once, to allow the SSH key to be trusted, then it works on it's own

The following script works well

option batch abort
option confirm off
open User:pass@server
put "localpath\realtime.txt" /remotepath
exit


  • change User:pass@server to your username , password and server name combination
  • change localpath\realtime.txt to the local path on you PC
  • change /remotepath to the remote path on the web server (as seen when you SFTP to the web site)
