Did you check the Save password on the Save session as site dialog?

To encrypt passwords, you can use master password.

But that will prevent the password from being used in scripting.

Your requirements are contradictory.

Yes we specified the password and it is not saving. even if it saves, our corporate policy wont allow saving password, unless WinSCP saves in as encrypted.

I am using winSCP.com on a script to connect from Windows to iSeries. I used the GUI and created a session with all configurtaion setup and username. I dont have a choice of saving a password and want to pass it to the script.

My issue is i want to know when i use the open command with the site, is there a way to pass the password? DAont prefer to use the open ftp:// command.

see below i am doing from command prompt:
winscp.com /script=E:\Command\ftpscript.txt

ftpscript.txt
--------------
option batch continue
option confirm off
open Test1
lcd E:\Input
exit
