Using batch file and WinSCP to download files from the FTP server to file server (shared folder)

I am using the following code to transfer files from my FTP server to my local machine which works fine.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /command ^
    "open ftp://rnandipati:J13@Files8.cyberlynk.net/kgptel/" ^
    "lcd ""C:\\rnandipati\KGP\File History""" ^
    "get  *.xls>1D" ^
    "rm *.xls<1D" ^
    "exit"

Now, I access my server using this path

\\fs01\\Reporting\KGP\File History

When I put this path in place of my local directory path, it shows an error that the system could not find the file specified and error changing directory.

Thanks.

A UNC path cannot be a working directory in Windows.

But you can use it as a target path in the get command:

get *.xls>1D "\\fs01\Reporting\KGP\File History\"

A full command for a batch file will be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /command ^
    "open ftp://rnandipati:J13@Files8.cyberlynk.net/kgptel/" ^
    "get *.xls>1D ""\\fs01\Reporting\KGP\File History\""" ^
    "rm *.xls<1D" ^
    "exit"

(not that I understand a logic of the get *.xls>1D and rm *.xls<1D)

For a similar question, see Get file from FTP server and copy it to UNC directory.

If you need to authenticate to the file server, see:
