Compress files before copying from sFTP site

No worries. As long as you are happy with the command buttons you have, that's cool beans :slight_smile: You do raise an interesting problem though, which I would be very curious to see the solution for, just for my personal use.

In order to modify the code so that it uses any username, password and hostname, the following options are available for plink:

-l = login name
-pw = password

So the code can be modified to:

plink -ssh ${Hostname} -l ${loginID} -pw ${password} cd /home/username/brie ; tar -zcvf /home/username/brie/aiCarambaMoreCheese.tgz --exclude='*.txt' test_tar ; cd -

You can get ${Hostname} from the ftp path shown in the Dopus destination lister.

You can easily create the additional variables that accept dlgstrings for login name & password.

This works fine. However, it does not solve the problem of integration of putty with Dopus. From another post (links below), Dopus actually uses the putty pageant code, so I think it would somehow be possible to get plink to reference this info somehow.

Perhaps Leo or some of the other Mods might let us know whether this is possible. Ideally you want a command like the following:

plink -ssh ${Dopus_ftpAddressBook} & cd /home/username/brie ; tar -zcvf /home/username/brie/aiCarambaMoreCheese.tgz --exclude='*.txt' test_tar ; cd -

However, it's prob not possible to link things this way. I had the following questions that I hoped someone might be able to answer:

1) Is there any command to grab the username, password & hostname from the Dopus ftp_address book, depending on what ftp site you are connected to in the destination lister?

2) Where is the Dopus ftp address book stored and is it encrypted?

Also where is the

Many thanks! :slight_smile:
