Re: I have this issue: Root path can be specified for WebDAV and S3 protocols only

2020-04-03

As the error message says, remove the path from the URL:

powershell.exe -File KeepLocalUpToDate.ps1 -sessionURL "sftp://username;fingerprint=ssh-rsa-pYxCX6hXnuthj7T9hL5ySuJyeYfUkjwlOPVK1RNY_0I@lfts.domain.com/redactesting/GPbackups/" -remotePath "/redactesting/GPBackups/" -localPath "C:\Users\Echegafa\Documents\GPBackups\"

Current PowerShell script I am running:

powershell.exe -File KeepLocalUpToDate.ps1 -sessionURL "sftp://username;fingerprint=ssh-rsa-pYxCX6hXnuthj7T9hL5ySuJyeYfUkjwlOPVK1RNY_0I@lfts.domain.com/redactesting/GPbackups/" -remotePath "/redactesting/GPBackups/" -localPath "C:\Users\Echegafa\Documents\GPBackups\"

Full Error:

Error: Exception calling "ParseUrl" with "1" argument(s): "Root path can be specified for WebDAV and S3 protocols only
Parameter name: url"

Thank you for your time and help.

@Guest: It's not a bug. Slashes have special meaning in a URL. You need to handle them specially, as documented:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/session_url#hostkey
WinSCP GUI can generate a properly encoded URL for you:

I get the same error. It appears to be a bug when there is a slash in the fingerprint.

It's the I at the end of ...age321431351/I
It cannot be there. Is it mistake or intentional?

I get same error, however this is when I'm running this extension. Remember already downloaded files so they are not downloaded again
If I run it as an extension inside WinSCP it works, but when I try to run it through a bat file using this I receive error

Error: Exception calling "ParseUrl" with "1" argument(s): "Root folder can be specified for WebDAV protocol only
Parameter name: url"

powershell.exe -File C:\temp\DownloadNewFiles2.WinSCPextension.ps1 -sessionUrl "sftp://UUUUU:PPPPPP@test.sftp.test.com:4010;fingerprint=ssh-rsa 4096 SADASDfeage321431351/I" -localPath "c:\temp" -remotePath "/" -listPath "c:\temp\downloaded.txt" -sessionLogPath "c:\temp\sessionlog.log"

Can you post a complete PowerShell command-line that you use to execute the script?

Met de extensie KeepLocalUpToDate.WinSCPextension.ps1 (mee geleverd met installatie. Bevindt zich in het Extensions path onder ..WinSCP..) in PowerShell heb ik in combinatie met WinSCP 5.13.2 continue de volgende melding:

Error: Exception calling "ParseUrl" with "1" argument(s): "Root folder can be specified for WebDAV protocol only

Dit naddat ik het -localpath heb ingevuld c:\temp\1 & het -remotepath /10.85.85.14/test als parameter

De credentials staan goed in PS1. Het loopt dus fout bij

$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions
