Recursive Directory Download/Upload for Putty SFTP

Monday, December 27, 2004 by digitalpeer, updated Saturday, January 22, 2005

I have had a lot of requests for recursive directory downloads and uploads with Putty's SFTP client. The current version (0.56) lacks this feature as well as wildcards. There are current plans to add in wildcard support (it's already been added for the SCP client), however, the developers don't wish to include mget and mput. So, I've just posted this patch. Just download the source, apply the patch, and you have a modified SFTP version with the new commands.

What the Patch Does and Does Not Do


Download the putty source, apply the patch or replace the PSFTP.C file with the one below, and compile.

psftp.c.patch, uploaded Monday, December 27, 2004
This is a beta patch tested with Putty beta 0.56, but may work with later versions.

PSFTP.C, uploaded Saturday, January 22, 2005
For those of you that don't know how to apply a patch, this is simply the patched PSFTP.C file. Replace the one in the putty source and compile.

I am using psftp for windows, how do I apply this patch?

I know that I'm probably a major pain in your #$#, however I am having problems compiling psftp with the PSFTP.C file that you uploaded. I am receiving the following error message when I try to compile. "NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make '..\psftp.c' Stop. Would it be possible for you to post the new compiled version? Or could you help me troubleshoot what I am doing wrong? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Jason

Seriously guys- it works. Download the release version of the putty source and replace the file. Make sure you can compile the orginial to begin with.

For windows, you can use free WinSCP -program. It's graphical tool so it does not work with scripts/batch.
