WinSCP auto Synchronization files of local subfolders directly into root's remote

Question

I couldn't find in the Auto Synchronization of folders the option to copy files from sub-folder without copying the full folder structure into the root of remote location.

Is something I'm missing or is there a way that I can achieve this with some turnaround at least?

example

local/folder1/file1.wav
local/folder2/file2.wav
local/folder2/file3.wav
local/folder2/file4.wav
local/folder3/file5.wav

into

root/file1.wav
root/file2.wav
root/file3.wav
root/file4.wav
root/file5.wav

Answer 1

WinSCP doesn't have such an interface.

The options I can see are:

• Sync the folders one by one manually.
• Write a Windows batch file that contains a command per each folder.
  See Command-line Options.
• Write a WinSCP script. See Scripting and Task Automation.

There's a PowerShell script that uses WinSCP .NET assembly that does almost what you need:

Copy the script into local .ps1. Adapt it to your needs.

• From your original post on Stack Overflow, I can see that you have followed these instructions already: https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27829#92162
• Additionally, I assume you do not want to delete the source files. So you will want to remove the $True argument from:

  $session.PutFiles($localFilePath, $remoteFilePath, $True)
  

Then you can install the script as an extension into WinSCP GUI. Go to Options > Preferences > Commands > Add > Add Extension.
