You need to store the psftp script  lines from open to bye  into a separate file and pass that to psftp using -b switch  cd  quot C  Program Files  x86  PuTTY quot  psftp -b  quot C  path to script script txt quot   Reference  https   the earth li  sgtatham putty latest htmldoc Chapter6 html psftp-option-b  EDIT  For username password  As you cannot use psftp commands in a batch file  for the same reason  you cannot specify the username and the password as psftp commands  These are inputs to the open command  While you can specify the username with the open command  open  lt user gt   lt IP gt    you cannot specify the password this way  This can be done on a psftp command line only  Then it s probably cleaner to do all on the command-line  cd  quot C  Program Files  x86  PuTTY quot  psftp -b script txt  lt user gt   lt IP gt  -pw  lt PW gt   And remove the open   lt user gt  and  lt PW gt  lines from your script txt  Reference  https   the earth li  sgtatham putty latest htmldoc Chapter6 html psftp-starting https   the earth li  sgtatham putty latest htmldoc Chapter3 html using-cmdline-pw  What you are doing atm is that you run psftp without any parameter or commands  Once you exit it  like by typing bye   your batch file continues trying to run open command  and others   what Windows shell obviously does not understand   If you really want to keep everything in one file  the batch file   you can write commands to psftp standard input  like        echo cd         echo lcd         echo put log sh     psftp -b script txt  lt user gt   lt IP gt  -pw  lt PW gt
