cd in script returns 'no such file' error
I am running WinSCP 4.1.7 on WinXP SP3, running a script in console mode, passing 3 parameters. The parameters are for session name, a filename, and a remote directory name. The script tries to 'cd' to the remotedirectory. I get 'no such file' error. This is because WinSCP is appends parameter %3% to the default folder path. However, the directory I want to change to is not a subfolder of the default directory.
Default session directory is: /afs/myserver/home/c/m/cmartin
I want to change to this folder: /afs/myserver/depts/med/cgibd/public_html/POPS/Asher
WinSCP attempts cd as: '/afs/myserver/home/c/m/cmartin/%3%' instead of '%3%'
Here is cmdline:
----------------
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /log="E:\Docs\Batch\Libs\winscp.log" /script="E:\Docs\Batch\Libs\put.txt" /parameter myserv_cfm "E:\Docs\Batch\Libs\RefFile.txt" /afs/myserver/depts/med/cgibd/public_html/POPS/Asher
Here is the script:
------------------
option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer automatic
open %1%
cd %3%
close
exit
Here is the log:
