Hi,

I think I have a problem connecting to my SSH server, so I will have to find out that first. Probably that's where the problem is.

I will keep the thread updated.

Thanks,

Re: Host does not exist - cannot find the reason for this error.

So this works: 
winscp sftp:@myserver

and this not? 
winscp sftp://suprd_ho@myserver


Maybe I am doing something wrong with the passphraze files, so I will check again during the day.

It cannot be anything with passphrase as you do not even establish connection to the host.

No Prikryl,
unfortunately still the same: 

C:\home\sftp>winscp.com /console script=sftp_script.txt sftp://suprd_ho@myserver

Searching for host...

Re: Host does not exist - cannot find the reason for this error.

It is strange.
What if you try: 
c:\home\sftp>winscp sftp://suprd_ho@myserver

Host does not exist - cannot find the reason for this error.

Hi,
I am very familiar with sftp on my UNIX boxes. I have a fully working environment, so an SSH daemon running. I can connect to my remote server from all my UNIX boxes.
I went through all the documents, FAQ's, searched google and I still have this problem.

I have a Windows PC, I can connect manually using the syntax (my server name is "myserver"): 
c:\home\sftp>winscp sftp:@myserver

Searching for host...

Connecting to host...

Authenticating...

'myserver' session username: suprd_ho

'myserver' session password:

Authenticated.

Starting the session...

Reading remote directory...

Session started.

Active session: [1] myserver


No problem at all, I can connect and send files.
I tried to run a batch: 
winscp.com /console script=test.txt mylogin@myserver


winscp.com sftp /console script=test.txt suprd_ho@myserver


I am not running this from the scheduler, just the same command prompt (Windows XP) and the same windows session.
I tried the fully qualified server name and IP address and I cannot connect, here is my attempt: 

c:\home\sftp>winscp.com /console script=test.txt suprd_ho@myserver

Host does not exist


I also created the public/private key and transferred it to my remote server. Still the same.

This is my batch: 
# 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 using a password

# open user:password@example.com



# Change remote directory

cd /tmp



# Force binary mode transfer

# option transfer binary



put text.txt



# Disconnect

close



# Exit WinSCP

exit



What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Richard

PS. This WinSCP is really nice, and very good documentation, I must admit, great job done :)
