Re: Unable to change the directory through script using lcd command

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_batch_file#newline_escaping

Your duplicate (and answered) question on Stack Overflow:
Some WinSCP commands in a batch file are not working

Though here you have posted a batch file with syntax that will indeed produce the error you are describing. On Stack Overflow you did not preserve the exact indentation, so the error did not make sense.

Hi All,

I am trying to download files sftp server to my local machine, with created a date-wise folder.
But it's falling at the point of lcd.

Here is my script.
