Re: No Such file or directory / Error changing directory

It's hard to understand the problem without seeing complete script and complete log file.
But this seem just wrong: 
cd OW_OUT_F*.txt


  1. You cannot use file masks in cd command
  2. The .txt hints that the mask to a file, not a folder – you cannot change a directory to a file

My wild guess is that you actually wanted to do get and not cd.

If you need further help, please post complete script and log.
A previous working script and its log might be useful too.

No Such file or directory / Error changing directory

Hi
I am countering this error after our client changed to a new SFTP Host and port. We have 2 servers involved in this change and I have managed to update the other one without any issues. Same steps performed and same version installed.

We have a batch file that executes the transfer of the file that is mapped to our SQL Database.
I have updated that get field path in the database but it still looks for a different file path when executing the exchange that I did not specify. I am not sure where it is coming from?

WinSCP Version: 6.3.6

Path specified in the DB where it gets the value: 
/ofw-corpapps-t-app-06-ap-southeast-2-btp-transferfamily-sftp/dmzhj/HJ/outbox/HJ_TEST/W962

I also tried hardcoding this value in the batch file program itself in the get part of the code but it still gives me the same error message.

I've been trying to solve this in a few weeks now. Will really Appreciate some inputs about this.

Thank you!
