Explicit Path to Winscp.com Causes Host Does not Exist Error

Hi Homer,


I think that problem occurs because your path: "..... (x86)".

I suggested you try move folder WINSCP to another folder and try again.

Explicit Path to Winscp.com Causes Host Does not Exist Error

Hi,

First some environment info:

WinSCP Version: 4.1.9
OS: MS Server 2003 R2 - Enterprise x64 Edition SP2

Now the issue:

When I run winscp without explicitly naming the path it works as designed: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP>WinSCP.com myuser:mypass@myserver.mydomain.com /command  "option confirm off" "get myfile.txt F:\Staging\oracle_xfer\myfile" "exit"

Searching for host...

Connecting to host...

Authenticating...

Using username "myuser".

Authenticating with pre-entered password.

Authenticated.

Starting the session...

Reading remote directory...

Session started.

Active session: [1] myuser@myserver.mydomain.com

confirm      off

myfile |          1 KiB |    0.0 KiB/s | ascii  | 100%

However if I run it with the path explicitly listed it fails with a Host Does Not Exist Error: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\WinSCP\WinSCP.com myuser:mypass@myserver.mydomain.com /command "option confirm off" "get myfile.txt F:\Staging\oracle_xfer\myfile" "exit"

Searching for host...



Host does not exist

winscp> exit

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Homer.
