I assume the problem is that you have not terminated the target path with a slash.

Try this:

$remotePath = "/SomeRemoteFolder/"

Ah! I missed that, Thank you!

Hi,

I "solved" it with this code :) 

# Load WinSCP .NET assembly

Add-Type -Path "\\srv\Script\FTP\WinSCP-5.9.3-Automation\WinSCPnet.dll"



# Set up session options

$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{

    Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp

    HostName = "HostName"

    UserName = "UserName"

    SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

    SshPrivateKeyPath = "\srv\Script\FTP\psftp\Key.ppk"

}







$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session

$session.SessionLogPath = "C:\Temp\Log\Uploaded.log"

$sessionOptions.SshPrivateKeyPassphrase = "Password"

try

{

    # Connect

    $session.Open($sessionOptions)



    # Your code



    $localPath = "C:\Temp\test\*" 

    $remotePath = "/SomeRemoteFolder" 



    # Upload files, collect results 

    $transferResult = $session.PutFiles($localPath, $remotePath) 



    Write-Host ("Upload of {0} succeeded" -f 

    $transfer.FileName) 

           

} 

finally 

{ 

# Disconnect, clean up 

$session.Dispose() 

} 



 

catch [Exception] 

{ 

Write-Host $_.Exception.Message 

exit 1 

}


But now I get another error code instead: 

Error code: 4

Error message from server: Failure

 

Common reasons for the Error code 4 are:

Renaming a file to a name of already existing file.

Creating a directory that already exists.

Moving a remote file to a different filesystem (HDD).

Uploading a file to a full filesystem (HDD).

Exceeding a user disk quota.

Asking user:

Cannot overwrite remote file '/SomeRemoteFolder'.$$

[SOLVED] - Ignore password promt when useing Private/Publik Keys?

Hi,

I'm trying to get my Powershell script to login and upload som files on a FTP server. It works great with Putty/psftp.exe.

The connection is SFTP with a username, a Key-file that has a passphrase on it and no password.
But I can't get it to work with WinSCP .Net or the Powershell module.

This gets me a login promt at $session: 
$sshKeyFinger = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:cc:vv:bb"

$sshKeyPath = "\\UNC\Path\to\Key.ppk"

$sshpw =  ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force



$session = New-WinSCPSession -HostName Username@host.com -SshPrivateKeyPath $sshKeyPath  -SshPrivateKeySecurePassphrase $sshpw -SshHostKeyFingerprint $sshKeyFinger 



Send-WinSCPItem -Path \\local\unc\path\* -WinSCPSession $session -Destination /transfer



Remove-WinSCPSession -WinSCPSession $session



and with this: 
# Load WinSCP .NET assembly

Add-Type -Path "WinSCPnet.dll"



# Set up session options

$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{

    Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Sftp

    HostName = "Host"

    UserName = "UserName"

    Password = "SSHKey_Passphrase"

    SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 2048 xx:cc:vv:bb"

    SshPrivateKeyPath = "\\UNC\Path\to\Key.ppk"

}



$sessionOptions.AddRawSettings("AuthKI", "0")

$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session



try

{

    # Connect

    $session.Open($sessionOptions)

   

    # Your code

    $transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions

    $transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Binary

 

    $transferResult = $session.PutFiles("\\Local\UNC\Path\*", "/transfer", $False, $transferOptions)



    # Throw on any error

    $transferResult.Check()



        # Print results

        foreach ($transfer in $transferResult.Transfers)

        {

            Write-Host ("Upload of {0} succeeded" -f $transfer.FileName)

        }

    }

    finally

    {

        # Disconnect, clean up

        $session.Dispose()

    }


I get this error message: 
Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 0.

Authentication log (see session log for details):

Using username "Username".

Authenticating with public key "rsa-key-".

Authentication failed."

At line:20 char:5

+     $session.Open($sessionOptions)

+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SessionRemoteException


Any idea?
