Sorry I have no more ideas.

When I run it manually I am logged in with the same account that runs it as a scheduled task.

How do you run it manually? Do you use the same account?
jpratt

I think maybe it is timing out while waiting to connect, but when I manually launch the scheduled task (right click, run now) it correctly waits for the response from the server and transfers the files.
Because I can manually run the scheduled task I don't think it has anything to do with the key.

Here's the log

Re: unable to run as a scheduled task

What goes wrong?

Have you read this FAQ?

unable to run as a scheduled task

Having problem getting WinSCP to run as a scheduled task on a windows machine.

I have a scheduled task running nightly that calls winscp.cmd which looks like this: 
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console /script=winscp_transfer.txt /log=C:\pep\logs\era_transfer.txt


the script looks like this:
# Automatically answer all prompts negatively not to stall

# the script on errors

# option batch on  



# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous

option confirm off



# Connect

open <username>:<password>@server.com



# Force binary mode transfer

option transfer binary



# Download file to the local directory c:\era\

get *.* c:\era\



# Remove transferred files from server

rm *.*



# Disconnect

close



# Exit WinSCP

exit



It runs if I manually run the scheduled task.
