Thank you for the quick reply. I updated to the latest version of WinSCP and disabled the 'Attempt GSSAPI authentication' setting using the GUI and the connection worked. I then added AuthGSSAPI=0 to the command line script we're using and that worked too. This was the only job of ours that was failing but it was also the only job of ours that connected to a server on the same network. Hopefully this helps someone else out there.

Thank you again for your help.

The logs do not look like from scripting (unless you have edited them).

Anyway, for the logged sessions, the difference is that the 5.5.6 session has "GSSAPI authentication" disabled, while 5.15.3 session does not.

That won't really explain why your script fails. For that we need to see a real (or full) scripting log.

Current WinSCP Version: 5.15.3.9730
Last Working WinSCP Version: 5.5.6.4746
Windows Version: Windows Server 2012 R2
Transfer Protocol: SFTP
GUI or Scripting?: Both
Test Command: "C:\XXX\WinSCP.com" /log="C:\XXX\Script.log" /ini=nul /command "open sftp://XXX:YYY@ZZZZ/ -hostkey=""ssh-rsa QQQ"" -rawsettings ConsiderDST=0" "ls" "exit"

We recently updated from version 5.5.6.4746 to 5.15.3.9730 and one of our SFTP jobs is failing with an Authentication Failed error. It fails using both the GUI and using the command-line scripts WinSCP generates. If we use the script WinSCP generates with the old WinSCP version, it works. Looking through the logs I can’t figure out why exactly it’s failing. Originally I thought it might have been a special character in the password so we changed the password to alphanumeric but still got the Authentication Failed error. We probably should have updated a little sooner… but any assistance you can provide would be much appreciated.

Thanks
