I'm trying to build a macro that builds bat files from VBA and then runs the file.

The purpose of the bat file is to connect to download the file from a FTP

I am using winscp to connect and download files

I have the following code that works great for downloading files from a "sftp"

winscp.com /command "open sftp://name:Pasword@host:Port" "get garfieldand5.png ""D:\cmd invetory\""" "exit"



However when I try to download not from secured ftp

for example the code that I'm using is



winscp.com /command "open ftp://name:Pasword@host" "get /Inventory/Inbound/Jet.csv ""D:\cmd invetory\""" "exit"



It is not working properly and I get an error that



Unknown command "get /Inventory/Inbound/Jet.csv ""D:\cmd invetory\""" "exit"





When I just put in the following line winscp.com /command "open ftp://name:Pasword@host"

I am able to connect properly to the FTP the issue starts when I tried to download a file with the "get" method.





What am I doing wrong?

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Hard to tell. It is all about building up the command line in the right way, with the spaces and (the amount of) quotation marks on the right place, so your program (winscp) is able to interpret the expected arguments in the right way.
Btw would you please leave out any unnecessary blank lines for a possible next post? It reads a bit easier.
