Though I do not think your problem is related to ": groups: not found.". It's more likely releated to: "Automatic actions are disabled when URL address is provided on command-line."

Instead of "scp://root:mypassword@HostIP:22" on command line, you should do "open scp://root:mypassword@HostIP:22" from your script file.

Hi,

i know it's been asked before but i got no answer.
is there a way to run the following without failing on the errors:

C:\Program Files\WinSCP>winscp.com scp://root:mypassword@HostIP:22 /script=c:\myscript.txt
