sftp remotly copy in bash file “unix”?

Question

Answer 1

For automated scripts, try scp or rsync.

from "man sftp":

-b batchfile Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile instead of stdin. Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction with non-interactive authentication. A batchfile of â-â may be used to indicate standard input. sftp will abort if any of the following commands fail: get, put, rename, ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp, lpwd, df, and lmkdir. Termination on error can be suppressed on a command by command basis by prefixing the command with a â-â character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*).

Answer 2

The cURL php extension for windows supports sftp. You should try to find a php script that you can place on the windows server and add to scheduled jobs. Wouldn't be too hard to create your own either. I'm sure python and .net have support for sftp as well.

Or, you could install cyqwin (nasty hack) on windows and write a bash script.
