Powershell SynchronizeDirectories Failing with a Permission Error on a Single File
I'm using the Session.SynchronizeDirectories method to try and syncronise files from a remote location to a local one. This is working fine except when it encounters a file which it cannot copy (eg. permission error). When this happens the process instantly stops the sync.
The output from SyncronizationResult is:
I set it to output the full log file, an extract from this:
From searching and the 'Asking User' entry in the log it seems like I need to handle what it does when it encounters an error like this. I found this example of how to implement an event handler for QueryReceived in Powershell but either the example of wrong or not compatible with my version as I just get an error saying:
What I want to happen is for it to just continue syncronising if it encounters an error like this. Can anyone advise how I can configure it to do this?
I'm using Powershell 4.0 with WinSCP version 5.11.2
Thanks
Andrew
