Re: Error Code 5

It is not trying to create any directory. It is trying to read the directory you told it to. And the directory does not seem to exist. WinSCP won't create the root directory of the synchronization. It must exist upfront.

My script fails when trying to create a new folder /EAS-MET/2022/04/06 on the remote server. When I manually create, the script works fine including creating sub folders automatically. It doesn't seem to want to create the root folder.
