Hello all,
I am using WinSCP to automate uploading files to a partner we work with. On our side, we have a large directory with many subdirectories. I have made a script that is run once per day which should upload all files changed within the last 24 hours. I use the code below to do the actual uploading:
put -filemask="*>1D" \\server\share\source /Remotedir/destination
At the destination, they only need the changed files. Files and folders they are finished with, get deleted from the destination server. The problem I have is that this command works, meaning it transfers the changed files. However, it also seems to recreate the entire directory structure from the source at the destination. This is a problem for them, since they have to hunt this structure for the changed files. Is there a way I can get it to only create the directories that contain new or changed files?
I have included a snippet of the log to show the process in the hope it might be helpful.
