PSFTP - How Do I Detect Successful Transfer from Output File?
I have a Windows batch script (attached - UFASR03_Name_302_ftpput.ba
What can I use in the output file to detect a successful transmission? The string that I use to detect a successful transmission should only appear in the output file when the transmission is successful; never should it appear if the file was not transmitted properly.
With regular FTP, I can use the following: findstr /c:"226 Transfer" %output%
But I can't use that "226 Transfer" string with SFTP. It doesn't appear in the output.
As you can see from the attached output file (named UFASR03_Name_302_ftpput_ou
local:JohnDoe_201008.csv => remote:/incoming/JohnDoe_2
I believe this means the file was successfully transferred. Can I use "=> remote" as a string to reliably indicate successful transmission 100% of the time? Will this string ever appear if there's an error? If not, what string should I use to detect successful transmission?

There seems to be no way for this in PSFTP, at least no documented one.
But PSCP will also try to use the SFTP protocol if possible, and you may even force it to do so by using the -sftp switch.
Unlike PSFTP, PSCP comes with a return value for successful transfers; please check "5.2.3 Return value" here:

ps:
Also check "5.2.2.6 -sftp, -scp force use of particular protocol" right above the section quoted in my last comment.
