I am in great need of some help. I am the only IT guy who handles all employee issues, network issues, and pretty much anything IT related for 20 nursing home sites. Recently, we went to time clock system called Kronos, I'm sure some of you are familiar. We also use a system called Point Click Care (PCC) for medical records. These two now need to integrate a census everyday to keep our employee cost down. That's the short version, here is what I need to do;
PCC has given me a .bat file to download a specific file from their ftp server to my PC in the office. Now, I need a .bat file to upload this file to the Kronos sftp servers, from my pc. I am not a script guy. I'm schooled in Cisco network engineering, Network security, and desktop support, not programming. Why they need me to do this is beyond me. I can do this daily easily with FileZilla, however, they want it automated. I have tried to simulate with several .bat examples online with my information, but nothing works.
Sorry if this is drawn out, I'm just frustrated, have been working on this for a week. Here is the simple version;
1. Take file from a folder on my PC, (this filename will have the date in it, so it will change everyday).
2. Upload file to Kronos sftp server
3. change the name of this file
4 And finally, overwrite the file with that name that already exist on the Kronos server
5. logout of course
Any help will be much appreciated. Here is the info;
server is xfer.kronos.net, although it says in FileZilla sftp://diakonos-mft@xfer.kronos.net

Re: I need some help writing a bat file to upload to server
Windows does not have a native SFTP client. You will need to download a 3rd party client that you can script like psftp.
