### Automating FTP using WinSCP scripting

The tool WINSCP can be used for scripting ftp related tasks. These are especially useful in automating FTP related tasks in an installer. I am posting some sample code here which may be useful. The entire set of scripting capabilities can be obtained from the WINSCP website.

option batch on  
    option confirm off  
    open ftp://:@  
    cd  
    put  
    close  
    bye

This script can then be invoked using the WINSCP.com command as below:

Winscp.com /console /script=

An interesting quote from John Tukey, who was an American mathematician (1915-2000):

*An approximate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than an exact answer to an approximate problem.*

Today maths and statistics form the basis of how software is developed and used around us.

## About Me

Medhavi  
I have over 20 years of experience in healthcare, communications, and AI.

I have a passion for defining innovative applications, creating product/technology strategy, and solving challenging problems. My product mindset is helpful to any company to find patterns, reduce costs, and gain efficiencies.

I was the VP of Engineering at Vibrent Health, where I led the web, mobile, API, and data products that supported one of the largest NIH programs - All of Us Research Program. Our system enrolled almost a million users and collected data from EHRs, surveys, and wearables. Before that, I worked at hCentive, a pioneer in health exchanges.

As the CTO of 3CLogic, I helped create the first PC and web-only contact center solution that implemented PBX and CRM functionality as an affordable SaaS solution. As the Chief Architect of NexTone, I was instrumental in the development of SIP and SIP-based products. SIP and associated protocols form the basis of modern WebRTC APIs.

If you are a growth company or invest in growing companies that are facing technical or scaling challenges, I can be a tremendous help. Contact me on LinkedIn.
