I am seeing the same error but within Powershell.

I have set the following but keep getting the message "Host key wasn't verified!". I am assuming it is something related to the setting of my session options. If I use the ppk file and login details below through the GUI, it works fine. I also tried using a .ini file and putting that both where winscp is run from and where the Powershell script, but with no luck.

Please attach a complete session log file (set Session.SessionLogFile). Please note that public host key is not a secret information.

Also (not related to your problem):
SshHostKey is obsolete name of SshHostKeyFingerprint. No point setting both.
SshPrivateKey is obsolete name of SshPrivateKeyPath. No point setting both. Either should contain full path (folder path and filename).

Any ideas?

If that does not help, attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

:D :D :D :D :D :D
