There is no build-in mechanism for psftp to understand differential data, so the answer is no.<br />
<br />
You can use the -pw option or key pairs. For instance - <br />
<br />
Try - <br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-39779799-1">psftp -pw 'password' username@server1.xyz.com -b task.txt </code></pre>

Try -



psftp -pw 'password' username@server1.xyz.com -b task.txt 

<div>
If psftp is an option so is pscp<br />
<br />
pscp username@remotehost:/path/<wbr />to/file store_here<br />
pscp -r username@remotehost:path/t<wbr />o/director<wbr />y/* strore_here<br />
<br />
using puttygen and pageant you can have public key authentication rather than password/interactive.

I am trying to use ps<a href="ftp://ftp.exe" rel="ugc">ftp.exe</a> to copy files from an external SFTP site to a local UNC path. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The command I use is &quot;ps<a href="ftp://ftp.exe" rel="ugc">ftp.exe</a> server1.xyz.com -b task.txt -l username<br />
<br />
In my task.txt file, I have the following:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lcd &quot;\\localserver\file path&quot;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cd remote_file_path<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mget &quot;*.*&quot;<br />
<br />
Questions:<br />
1. I am using -l to specify the username. &nbsp;How do I specify the password?<br />
2. When I use mget &quot;*.*&quot;, I am copying all files from the remote sftp server to my local file server. &nbsp;<br />
Is there a way I can copy only the differential data to the local UNC path?<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

Telnet is an application layer protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell protocols. The term telnet is also used to refer to the software that implements the client part of the protocol. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server.

SSH / Telnet Software

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
