Re: Change Directory Failing on File Transfer (works initially though...?)

It does not change the directory initially. WinSCP remembers the directory from previous runs and does not even try to change it. It does that only once it really needs. And that fails. Does the directory even exist now?

Anyway, you should better avoid using the cache for scripts or even better completely isolate the script run from any configuration (including the caches).
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting#configuration

Change Directory Failing on File Transfer (works initially though...?)

I'm having a similar issue that's causing me to tear my hair out! The script changes directories successfully, but when going to move the file, it tries to change directories again and fails! I'm at a loss :/ Here is my script file:

option batch abort
option confirm off

open ftp://[omitted]
cd ..
cd ..
cd infa_shared
cd imatica
cd GSC
cd SRCFiles
put c:\Temp\HIDBadgeCodeToSSO.csv
exit

Here is my log file:
