How to run a shell script [.sh] from WinSCP process in C# .NET

Question

I have done the following steps successfully:

The thing I want to add to my App is that:

Give that process a command to run a shell-script [already uploaded on the server]
I tried this session.ExecuteCommand("sh /fol1/fol1_1/abc.sh");
but giving no results/impacts

Though I'm still confused by your reference to Process and winscp.StandardInput. That does not go well with WinSCP .NET assembly. It would really help, if you post your code. — Martin Prikryl

Thanks @MartinPrikryl . Updated the Question's last bullet. No error while running but the files are not being created in the directory using abc.sh . Though the abc.sh is working when i manually run it from putty — Asif Mehmood

When running in PuTTY, do you execute it using the same syntax (sh /fol1/fol1_1/abc.sh) from the root folder? — Martin Prikryl

So try the same with WinSCP: session.ExecuteCommand("cd /fol1/fol1_1; sh abc.sh"); — Martin Prikryl

To execute a shell command on the server using WinSCP .NET assembly, use the Session.ExecuteCommand:

session.ExecuteCommand("sh abc.sh");

This will work with the SCP and the SFTP (with limitations) protocols only.
