Error transferring file - No such file or folder. Syntax error in parameters or arguments.

2019-03-13 18:50

Hello,
Is there a simple method to correct this, so WinSCP looks at the file name as just a name?
Thanks

See below some files names with "% and numbers" cause WinSCP to interpenetrate it as /
%2f to /
Plus others that cause this error "Syntax error in parameters or arguments."

Found this on the wiki.

2F, the hexadecimal code (in ASCII and Unicode) for the slash character

Looks to be related to the Transfer settings > Filename modification > replace "\:*?`"
I uncheck this in the GUI is will this be reflected while running in PS,
its set to true?

"DefaultConfiguration          : True"

If not how would I set it to replace?

PS C:\Users\19202> $session
ExecutablePath                : 
ExecutableProcessUserName     : 
ExecutableProcessPassword     : 
AdditionalExecutableArguments : 
DefaultConfiguration          : True
DisableVersionCheck           : False

Thanks

$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.FileMask = "| ~*"
$transferOptions.AddRawSettings("ReplaceInvalidChars", "0")
