Can't use "CALL FIND" command on script

Hi, I'm basically trying to run a script that deletes remote files that is more then 3 days old, so far getting error message - Authentication Failed while running this command via automatic scripting.

I've checked with the login details, it worked both on windows and on command prompt. Even the log files included at the bottom end indicate that access is granted.



Here's the batch command i ran 

"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" "Penson sftp"  /console /script=deleteoldfiles.txt


And the txt file that contained script is as follow 

option transfer binary

option batch continue

option confirm off



cd To_Company/TestA/

call find /To_Company/TestA/ -mtime +3 -exec rm -f {} \;



Here are the log file
