In GUI, you connect to non-standard port 8080. While in scripting you connect to the default port 22.

Use open sftp://pjm:***@transfer.grid.alstom.com:8080/download/

thanks - tried using the above with the port number, and it still did not work.

Any other ideas?

I'm unable to connect to an sftp site using the command line. the gui connects successfully. Using the command line it returns Connection timed out.

I'm using windows server 2012r2
WinScp 5.7.5(build 5665)

Invoked with this command - WinSCP.com /script=secureftp.txt

Attached
Script - secureftp.txt
failed command line log - commandline.log
successful gui log - sftp.log

Thanks!
