How to execute multiple commands in command prompt using batch file?

Question

I am writing a batch file to execute the command (to execute Bitvise SFTP)

start cmd /k sftpc [SERVERNAME] -pk=1

After which the command prompt ask the following

Accept and (S)ave/(A)ccept for This Session/(C)ancel (S/A/C)?

Now the batch file should execute the next command as "A" to go through process.

I want automate the process of providing input "A" in command prompt. How can a batch file execute commands continuously ?

Updated :

After accepting the session, there are two more commands that needs to be executed,

cd [RemoteLocation]


get *.*

How to automate these two commands after the first two commands using the same batch file ?

Answer 1

You could try this to send an "A" to sftpc:

start cmd /k "echo A | sftpc [SERVERNAME] -pk=1"

I don't have sftpc and am just trying a suggestion to help out...

Updated:

If you have multiple commands to give to sftpc, you may find that one of the following methods works, depending on how sftpc works - I am working blind here - still don't have, or want, sftpc.

start cmd /k "echo A & echo cd somewhere & echo get *.* | sftpc [SERVERNAME] -pk=1"

... change "somewhere" to wherever you want to go to.

Or maybe:

Save the following in a file called ftp.cmd

A
cd somewhere
get *.*

Then try:

start cmd /k "sftpc [SERVERNAME] -pk=1 < ftp.cmd"
