Time constraints were introduced in 5.0.6:
https://winscp.net/tracker/672

It is version 4.3.8.

I'll get the latest installed soon and give it a try.

Thanks!

What version of WinSCP are you using? Make sure you have the latest.

The upload works fine without the >1D mask, just *.*.

Here is my script:

option batch abort
option confirm off
#option ignore permission

# Connect
open AvaCDX

# Upload the files
put X:\DX\Import\Bank835-test\*.*>1D /target_tx/

#Disconnect
close
# Exit WinSCP
exit

There is 1 file that is < 1 day old in that Source directory. I can copy that file manually with the GUI (no masking).

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you verymuch for your swift answer.

Stupid me ! And it shouldn't have any spaces as it seems.

Thanx Verymuch !

get *.xls>1D

Hello everyone.

I am totally new at WinScp and scripting and I am trying to automate daily download of some files.

Problem is that I only need to download most recent (i.e 1 day old file) file.

I found out that in the latest beta version of WInsCp you can put file mask with Size and Time Constraints to do that https://winscp.net/eng/docs/file_mask

However I can't manage to download only the latest excel file from the server . It keeps downloading all files.

Basically I try to do this :

winscp
open myssesion
get *.xls<1D
exit

Thx in advance.
