run program within autoit

[thorkfumble]

Hello all

I need to replace some sftp related code in a autoit with winscp.cmd.

Thus I've made sure that the filetransfer is running well on the commandline in Windows 7.

Spoiler

C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\winscp.com /privatekey="C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\ftp_ppk.ppk" user@host:/data_in /script="c:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\scp_script.txt"

 

put above code in my autoit file will always fail for some reason.

Spoiler

Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\winscp.com" /privatkey="C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\ftp_ppk_mm.ppk" "user@host:/data_in" /script="c:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\scp_script.txt"'

 

Any idea what I've made wrong?

thanks in advance  for some advice / help on this.

What happens when you run it this way? A CMD window will open and remain open for you to read any error in case there is any:

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\winscp.com" /privatkey="C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\ftp_ppk_mm.ppk" "user@host:/data_in" /script="c:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\scp_script.txt"')

Just type the reply at the bottom and hit Submit reply when you want to reply to a post as the Report button is for something totally different.

doesnt work! I get some lines in a DOS Box like

'c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable progran or batch file.

[thorkfumble]

it looks as the space in between Program File won't be recognized.

so this is a case where you need to make sure it's quoted properly. do it like jos did, I got it to work properly.

Try this version please:

Run(@ComSpec & ' /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\winscp.com" /privatkey="C:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\ftp_ppk_mm.ppk" "user@host:/data_in" /script="c:\Program Files (x86)\path\winscp\scp_script.txt""')
