Scripted Download fails

I have created a simple script to download a file from a sFTP server. When I test the stored session and connectivity in the GUI it works fine. But when I use the script it fails with a permissions error.

The script is:
option batch abort
option confirm off
option transfer ascii
open CITI_Ucits_Download
get navsummary.csv
exit


Here is the log file from the attempted transfer. The odd part is that even though I am getting a permission denied error the script actually creates an empty folder with the filename instead of the actual file.

[quote="prikryl"]Please attach Debug 2-level session log file.[/quote]
Thanks Martin, I am attaching two files. The first is the log from the script. The second is the log from the GUI which successfully downloaded the file.

I have a simple batch file which calls the script.
Batch File:
winscp.com /script=c:\greg\downloaducits.txt /log=d:\scriptlog.log

Script:
option batch abort
option confirm off
option transfer ascii
open CITI_Ucits_Download
get navsummary.csv d:\navsummary.csv
exit
Description: Log from GUI
Description: Log from script.

Re: Scripted Download fails

Your server returns mode 40600 (octal) = 0x4180 for the navsummary.csv, what according to POSIX standards means the file is directory (40000 = 0x4000 = S_IFDIR).

< 2013-01-23 09:07:21.633 69,00,00,02,07,00,00,00,0C,00,00,41,80,50,FF,EE,9A,50,FF,EE,9A,
That makes WinSCP to try to recurse into the directory. That obviously fails as I presume it is actually a file.

So it looks like a server-side bug. Please report it to the software vendor.

GUI uses different way to retrieve file properties, that does not trigger the server's bug.

I believe you can workaround the bug (emulate the GUI approach) by using:
get -filemask="navsummary.csv" * d:\
