Re: [WinSCP 5.8] Only 10 sec for entering client certificate passphrase in console mode

As I wrote, do not use batch mode for open command. Enable it only after. 

option batch off

open ....

option batch abort

... other commands


Or do not use the batch mode at all, as your script is obviously not running unattended.

Re: [WinSCP 5.8] Only 10 sec for entering client certificate passphrase in console mode

Hi,

thanks for your reply.
So what do you recommend for not saving the password in the script? What are the alternatives?

Thank you!

Re: [WinSCP 5.8] Only 10 sec for entering client certificate passphrase in console mode

In a batch mode, the script should generally do not prompt for anything.
Do not use a batch mode for the open command, if you expect a prompt.

[WinSCP 5.8] Only 10 sec for entering client certificate passphrase in console mode

In version 5.8 of WinSCP, there is a bug in connecting to a FTPS server in console mode:
After asking for the passphrase of the client certificate the user only has 10 seconds for entering it. After this time, the console closes without a message.
