Troubleshooting SFTP Connections
Verify that the server you are connecting to supports SFTP connections (see Note below).
Verify the connection port.
Try toggling the compression options in the SSH2 Security page.
Verify the authentication mechanism supported and required by the server.

This may help you,

I indeed cannot see any difference. For a test, try to disable your firewall.

Yes I can connect with WinSCP GUI without problem. And if I run script with PowerShell manually it's working. But with Task Scheduler it's failing randomly (it can fail every second run or 2-3 times from 5).

Can you connect to that SFTP server anyhow from that specific local machine? Using WinSCP GUI? Using any other SFTP client?

SFTP script error

2022-10-31 10:33

Hello,
maybe you can help me. I get random time error about connection to SFTP. I'm running script with Task scheduler. If I run script manually I didn't receive error. Where is the problem?
