exit code 1 on script

2012-05-18 22:37

I am trying to execute a script which results in a successful connection and transfer, but returns an error code of 1.

Here is the script-

open ftp://ftpuser:password@ftp.domain.net
option batch abort
option confirm off
put \\domain.net\common\share\IT_Operations\ftptest\*.txt
exit

And here is the console output-

Connecting to ftp.domain.net ...
Connected with ftp.domain.net. Waiting for welcome message...
Connected
Starting the session...
Reading remote directory...
Session started.
Active session: [1] ftpuser@ftp.domain.net
batch abort
confirm off
\\domain.net\common\share\IT_Operations\ftptest\foo.txt | 0 KiB | 0.0 KiB/s | ascii | 0%

And here is the log-

Any idea why I am getting exit code 1 as opposed to exit code 0? This batch script is part of a larger powershell script with conditional actions firing on non-0 exit code, so I am eager to resolve this. Please let me know if there are any suggestions. In addition to trying this with version 5.0.7, I have also tried 4.3.7.

It does not look like The script fails. It would say so in the log. Can you post piece of code you are running WinSCP and checking the exit code with?

I have sent you an email with a development version of WinSCP to address you have used to register on this forum.

Hello,

I tried this again with the version of WinSCP you sent me. It did not return any value for an exit code this time, though perhaps that was intentional on your part, since the exit code now appears in the log file.

No exit code:

PS C:\Scripts> $lastexitcode -eq $null
True

Found the issue

2012-05-23 20:21

Hello,

Thanks for your help. I found the problem, and it turned out to be a problem with the Powershell code I am using to execute winscp.com.

For the benefit of anyone else that may run into this- If you launch winscp.com within powershell, or any external executable for that matter, using Start-Process- The exit code is not stored in the environment variable $lastexitcode. THis is why my script was failing. I believe when I first reported the trouble I was observing a $lastexitcode value of 1 based on another command I had launched earlier in the same session, and the exit code was still stored.

The work around was to change this-

#*If only one file is found, start SFTP transfer 
Start-process $winscp "$($parm)" -RedirectStandardOutput $resultfile -wait 

#*error handling for the SFTP transfer 
if ($lastexicode -ne 0)

to this:

#*If only one file is found, start SFTP transfer
$proc = Start-process $winscp "$($parm)" -RedirectStandardOutput $resultfile -wait -Passthru
$ExitCode = $proc.ExitCode 
$proc

#*error handling for the SFTP transfer
if ($ExitCode -ne 0)

Once I did that, everything worked fine!

Thanks again for your help!
