I have to move a complete folder from one source to another destination.
I have tried mget * and xcopy, but neither works. Please suggest some snippets.

I'm using psftp to connect the SFTP server.

My code is:

cd Remote path
lcd Local path
mget *
bye

I have also tried mget* and mget *.*.

Answer 1

1. Use mget -r folder

2. If your paths include spaces, do not forget to surround path to double quotes

3. I assume you connect using command line arguments, otherwise you are missing open command.
