Success!

Note that the correct parameter/argument to the winscp.exe is /ini=nul not with double ll (null) as mentioned before.

Found a relevant topic: https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23957

I suppose that I have to add back the /ini=null in the line while revoking the winscp.exe

I'll give it a try and let this forum know

Error message from server: No such file WinSCP v. 5.19.3 (Build 11749)

Hello all,

I have a problem retrieving certain files via get command (4 of them) from a server. The files do exist in the /Reports directory of the server but as seen from the log file I cannot retrieve nor just the first of them. Those commands run from a batch file/script via Task Scheduler. Running the same script from command prompt, does the job nicely and those files along with the other commands complete successfully. Any thoughts?
