local shell execution from /script

I am looking at integrating winscp into existing batch jobs.
In windows default FTP client and the moveit freely FTPS client the ftp macro interprets ! to mean start a command shell and run some local command such as "!myprogram.exe" inside the session.

Argueably I can do these before and after the session, but

The GUI mode allows custom commands to execute locally or remotely
but it's not apparent how to or if I can start a local command shell from script. :?

This is not supported yet.

First post, while I am at it, what a great program.

hmmm, its great that you can schedule in windows. The problem I am facing is I am transferring files using WINSCP (batch) by windows scheduler followed by another task which runs my "program.exe" the only thing is I don't know of an option that ensures scheduled tasks are complete or I need to find a way to make sure WINSCP has finished the transfer of the desired file's before "program.exe" is executed. :?:

If anyone has suggestions on a better free task scheduler, or another solution I am all ears.

Thanks Austin

You can put both your tasks to single .bat file and schedule that.

Hello,

Thank you for WinSCP.

I'm making a small software to manage and run WinSCP scripts directly from right click in explorer directories.
I would love to see the possibility of running shell commands from the script. This would make scripts way simpler, easily shareable, and we wouldn't need an additional .bat file.
Is there something planned for this feature ? Much thanks !

Use the call command.

Though it has some limitations.
