WinSCP select most recent file

Looking for the WinSCP command line equivalent of selecting the most recent/latest file?

I'm looking for a way to update my WinSCP command-line below to download the latest file:

winscp.com /command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" "open sftp://[email protected]/ -hostkey=""ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx...""" "exit"

Use the -latest switch of the get command, as the Downloading the most recent file article shows:

get -latest /home/user/* c:\downloaded\

If you want to use it on command-line, the syntax is like:

winscp.com /command "open sftp://user:[email protected]/ -hostkey=""ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx...""" "get -latest /home/user/* c:\downloaded\" "exit"

Use WinSCP GUI to generate command-line template for you.
