I'm new to this WinSCP scripting, however, I'm trying to find a script that would download the most recent file, but it only account for files that match a partial name criteria.
I found this script, but it downloads the most recent one, but it accounts for all files in the folder.
Any help is appreciated.
param (
$localPath = "c:\downloaded",
$remotePath = "/home/user"
)
try
{
# Load WinSCP .NET assembly
Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"
# Setup session options
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp
HostName = "example.com"
UserName = "user"
Password = "mypassword"
SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xxxxxxxxxxx..."
}
$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
try
{
# Connect
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
# Get list of files in the directory
$directoryInfo = $session.ListDirectory($remotePath)
# Select the most recent file
$latest =
$directoryInfo.Files |
Where-Object { -Not $_.IsDirectory } |
Sort-Object LastWriteTime -Descending |
Select-Object -First 1
# Any file at all?
if ($latest -eq $Null)
{
Write-Host "No file found"
exit 1
}
# Download the selected file
$session.GetFileToDirectory($latest.FullName, $localPath) | Out-Null
}
finally
{
# Disconnect, clean up
$session.Dispose()
}
exit 0
}
catch
{
Write-Host "Error: $($_.Exception.Message)"
exit 1
}
"Partial name criteria" is bit vague, but something like this should do:
