Thankfully, there’s another ALPHA (Debug) version but it seemed to fix all the problems straight away.

I need to upload (FTP/SFTP) files to a web-host. Then for each uploaded file, I need to run a script on the web-host (SSH). Typically, the script would modify the timestamp on the uploaded file, and perhaps other operations such as changing file/folder permissions (chmod), and perhaps adding the file to a “zip” or “gz” or other archive.

It should be able to run interactively or unattended and it really makes sense for the FTP and SSH operations to be handled by the same client (possibly in different sub-windows).

Another operation would be to synchronize a remote folder (on a web-host), with a local folder, comparing file-timestamp, filesize, and/or hash (crc32/…).

I don’t know if any of these SSH clients mentioned are script-able to this extent, but I will check them out.

If these kinds of script-able operations are not possible with these clients, does anyone know if there are other clients that can handle it?

It has been a while since your original post and I thought it would be good to mention that the PuTTY Connection Manager is still in beta, but it has been updated.

The forum post you quoted talks about PuTTY Connection Manager 0.7.0.4780 alpha.

The current version of PuTTY Connection Manager is 0.7.1.136 beta. I assume the fix you spoke of is in this beta release. I just downloaded it and I’m going to give it a good workout.

So, no more fears of using an Alpha release.

Sending a command to all open ssh connections does not seem to work for me, but that would be a great feature!

As for PuTTy and WinSCP “replacement” , try Bitvise Tunnelier. I found it using less resources when transferring large files through WinSCP
