Use pscp to push chosen file to a linux server

Something I have to do many times per day is move python files to a linux machine to run.
if $FILE is the chosen file the command I use for this is
Code: Select all
pscp $FILE username@192.168.1.101:directoryname
doing this does require me to enter a password at the command line
Can I set this up as a catalog item for drag and drop? Or alternately as a right-click option?
I tried this as a script for the catalog:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe <curname> username@192.168.1.101:directoryname
But it doesn't work and when I try running it as a raw script I get "Overflow 0/0"
I think there's something fundamental I am misunderstanding. Can I use the catalog items to run a command line?

Code: Select all
run """C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe"" ""<curitem>"" ""username@192.168.1.101:directoryname""";

Hi highend. That looks very promising. Doesn't run as a catalog item, can you tell me where you intend that to be used?

Mh, it runs as a catalog item here (drag and drop)?
Show a screenshot of the properties of this entry in the catalog...
Apart from that, for multiple files at once:
Code: Select all
$items = replace(<selitems>, '"', '""');
run """C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe"" $items ""username@192.168.1.101:directoryname""";

I'm probably missing something you would consider obvious. At my end I can't even drag a file onto the catalog item, it gives the line-through-circle indicating it isn't a valid operation. Here is an image of the properties.

The "Action on click" must be set to "Go to Location"
