The WinSCP FTP client support scripting as we can read on https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation.

In a previous life, I was often faced with the need to download a certain type of file, e.g. connect to an FTP server and retrieve PHP files locally for analysis.

Since WinSCP allows automation, it's easy to write a little script to do just that.

As an example, we'll thus download any .php files from a host.

WinSCP is a free, open-source file manager for securely transferring files between your computer and remote servers using protocols like SFTP, FTP, SCP, and WebDAV.

Did you know that you can call WinSCP from ... VBA code?

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_vb#using. There are also several posts in the forum: https://winscp.net/forum/search.php?mode=results

By the use of a script, it's possible to ask WinSCP to synchronize your host and remote machine i.e. if a file is newer on the host, copy it to your remote server and the opposite.

If a file has been added to your host, copy it to your remote server and vice versa.

I'm using such script for making a full backup of some of my folders to my Synology.

More than once I've found myself in the situation where I've got a site saved in the WinSCP configuration where I've saved the password and, um, gosh, what was it?

Did you know WinSCP provide an option to show you, in plain text, a stored password?
