I actualy got it to work by putting the password in single quotes ' ' instead of " " (i tried this randomly)
now the message I get when I transfer a file is

Upload of file 'test2.txt' was successful, but error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp. If the problem persists, turn on 'Ignore permission errors' option.

Can you attach or email me a somplete logs for both scenarios?

Everything works fine when testing with our inhouse SFTP server (through GUI and through powershell script). Now that we are testing with external, we are having problems connecting via the powershell script

using 5.1.3 of the com and the app

we are using pw authentication but they did give me their public key if we want to use that instead (i just dont know how to set this up via the powershell script)

logs when I try via the script
