I had the same error : "cwd" not found in the log file

the problem was with the Installed winscp version, I have replaced the winscp.exe from the .NET assembly / COM library and my problem was solved,

The version of C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.exe (5.5.5.0) does not match version of this assembly C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll (5.7.3.0).
You can disable this check using Session.DisableVersionCheck (not recommended).

The same answer as above.

Hi,
Is there a solution to this Error Element "cwd" not found in the log file? I have this error when trying to open the Session. Please advise. Thanks.

Please attach full session and debug log files showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Hi,

i am facing an issue while trying to open a session.
The error is that "Element "cwd" not found in the log file".

{
{WinSCP.SessionLocalException: Element "cwd" not found in the log file
at WinSCP.CustomLogReader.WaitForNonEmptyElement(String localName, LogReadFlags flags) in D:\winscp570source\dotnet\Internal\CustomLogReader.cs:line 100
}

Code:

SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
{
Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,
HostName = "ftp", //hostname e.g. IP: 192.54.23.32, or mysftpsite.com
UserName = "abc",
Password = "12345",
PortNumber = 22,
SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh-rsa 1024 ff:22:8d:cb:44:3f:88:75:73:6d:9a:55:72:bb:b8:a1"
};


session.DebugLogPath = "D:\\sftpLog\\WinSCPnet.dll.CodeAnalysisLog.xml";
session.DisableVersionCheck = true;

session.Open(sessionOptions); //Attempts to connect to your sFtp site


Can you please point to the direct direction or let me know what am i missing?
