Setting timeout problem

2012-06-12 10:22

I am trying to manually set the timeout in my script, but can't get it to work.

if I type:

winscp>open username:password@address -timeout=100 -passive=on

then it connects fine, and the timeout is 100 seconds.

But If I try to put this into my script file it fails:

winscp.com /script="path/to/script.txt"

script.txt:

open username:password@address -timeout=100 -passive=on
command1
command2

Then I get the following error:

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

I tried adding it after the /script parameter as /timeout=15 or -timeout=15, but get the same error.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

I have figured it now.

I needed to change:

open username:password@address -timeout=100 -passive=on

to

open ftp://username:password@address -timeout=100 -passive=on

and now it works,

cheers.

@kiran: Please, start a new thread and attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, set Session.SessionLogPath. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

@0Tolerance: Sorry, your post does not include enough information.

Please read how to troubleshoot problems with WinSCP. If it turns out that you are not able to help yourself, read how to ask for support or report bugs efficiently, so others can help you.
