Converting Windows (DOS) script & FTP to WinSCP
Objective:
Want to move script (See figure 1) to WinSCP so we can trap for errors when connection to mainframe fails
Environment: Windows 2003 Server, WinSCP 4.3.5
Context:
AS2 EDI application, receiving data from trading partner and FTP's to mainframe for processing. Presence of received files in AS2 triggers a Windows (DOS) script to run that;

-– Build the FTP script to contain the date/time stamped files name
The current process has a
QUOTE SITE command in the FTP script that sets up how the file is handled on the mainframe. The date/time stamped file is then uploaded via FTP. Another QUOTE SITE command sets up for the following "job card" file to be handled differently prior to it being FTP uploaded to the mainframe.
Question:
How to handle the
QUOTE SITE commands in WinSCP script?
