User input path psftp script batch file

Question

I am trying to implement a scenerio like the user should give a path and the path should be binded to another .

bat file and that path should be the destination where am going to put my file from local.

My code looks like this:

• Getfile.bat:

   set /P INPUT=Type input: psftp <user>@<IP> -b D:\\FileTransfer.bat -pw <PW> 

• Filetransfer.bat:

   cd %INPUT% lcd d:\\ put log.sh 

Error :Access denied Remote working directory is /home/irisuser Directory /home/irisuser/%INPUT%: no such file or directory

Answer 1

Your variable %INPUT% is not passed to Filetransfer.bat . If you want psftp to cd into a user-defined directory, you have to create Filetransfer.bat on the fly:

set /P INPUT=Type input: 

>D:\Filetransfer.bat echo.cd %INPUT%
>>D:\Filetransfer.bat echo.lcd d:\
>>D:\Filetransfer.bat echo.put log.sh

psftp <user>@<IP> -b D:\FileTransfer.bat -pw <PW>
