What is SFTP?
SFTP, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a network protocol used for secure file transfer over the internet. It is a secure alternative to FTP and is commonly used for transferring files between a client and a server.
Using SFTP.exe for File Uploads
SFTP.exe is a command-line SFTP client that can be used to transfer files securely over the internet. It is a simple and powerful tool that can be used to automate file transfers using batch scripts.
Creating a Batch Script for SFTP File Uploads
To create a batch script for SFTP file uploads, follow these steps:
- Open a new text document and add the following code:
@echo off
set sftp\_user=tencentroot
set sftp\_pass=your\_password
set sftp\_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set local\_file=E:\React\sage-react\dist/home/freedom/local/dist
set remote\_file=/home/freedom/local/distsftp
sftp -i C:\Users\Sage\\.ssh\\tencentroot -b batchfile.txt %sftp\_user%@%sftp\_host%
- Save the file with a .bat extension, for example, upload.bat.
Creating the Batch File for SFTP
The batch file is used to specify the commands that SFTP.exe should execute. In this example, we will create a batch file that uploads a local file to a remote server.
- Create a new text document and add the following code:
put "%local\_file%" "%remote\_file%"
quit
- Save the file as batchfile.txt in the same directory as the batch script.
Running the Batch Script
To run the batch script, double-click on the upload.bat file. The batch script will connect to the remote server using the SFTP.exe client, upload the local file to the remote server, and then disconnect.
