Authentication failed

Hi prikryl,

I am using WinSCP in script mode to scan multiple ftp accounts and time to time I have a error message "530 Login incorrect".
This is completely random on the accounts. What I trying to say is that the problem is not in the user/pass because in other ocasions the same combination works fine. Can you help me out to understand what is causing this?
Were is an example of the error:

Re: Authentication failed

You should start your research on the server side, to see if it logs a root cause of the authentication failure.

530 Login incorrect

Hi prikryl,

I already escalated the problem to the IT team but they reply that there is no problem. From there side there is nothing to be done.
However I still have this problem...

Is there a way in WinSCP to retry the login in case of failure?
Can you help me out?

Best regards,

João Silva
