Thanks for the video ! If i need to transfer same files every day, does this method overwrite the old ones ? I basically have to update same files every day since the content of the files changes daily but file names stay the same.

Muchas gracias por tu video!
hace días que intentaba esto.
Como dato adicional: para poder visualizar el host key, también se puede ver presionando el botón de la barra de herramientas Sessión - Información de servidor/protocolo - Pestaña Protocolo y en la parte de Huellas de clave de servidor en la parte final (abajo) aparece el host key. (el valor separados con ": " )

I have followed your video to automate sync with remote to local and vice versa, However is there a method to use that once a file is deleted from local that it synchronizes with the remote folder and deletes that too. Would be really helpful if you could provide a link or method to resolve this issue.

Thank you, had to write it a little differently in my case but it still worked

Have you tried to run the script with the Windows Task Scheduler? I have the ability to run the script manually but adding in Win Task Scheduler is not working.

How to setup in Task Scheduler:

To run WinSCP script, use /script= switch, for example:

Program/script: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com"
Add arguments: /script="D:\test.txt"

Hi, thanks for your video. Anyway it works, but cant see the files being sent on the console. What I am missing?
