If you want to login with a private key, you have to specify it (as you do in the GUI). Use -privatekey switch:

Thank you, your solution is correct, but I figured out the same thing couple of hours ago after wasting like 6h :D

I know that connection is closed because password authentication is disabled, but why it's not using SSH.
Port is open and I can login wit WinSCP GUI using the private.ppk file.

This is what CMD looks like.

WinSCP authentication with ssh

Hello,

I want to use a WinSCP script to get files from Linux server with Windows Command Prompt.

I use a script for that

# Automatically abort script on errors
option batch abort
# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous
option confirm off
# Connect to SFTP server using a password
open sftp://user@ip:port/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 2048 fingerprint"
# Upload file
get out/* C:\Users\Timo\Documents\Olerex\in\
# Disconnect
close
bye

When I run it in Command Prompt it tries to authenticate with password , that is not allowed.
