Problem accepting certificate automatically

2011-10-01 00:13

I am exeucuting a script which executes the following command:

> C:\"program files"\winscp\winscp.exe /ini="D:/Conf.ini" /console /log="D:\Log.log" /command "open ftps://user:pass@SERVER.COM -passive -certificate=""xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx""""" "option transfer binary""" "option confirm off""" "cd """ "put D:\*.*""" "exit"""

And my log shows the following prompt which I can't answer since I am executing it from a script:

> Continue connecting and store the certificate? ()

I have accepted manually, but when running the script it keeps showing the question.

Do any of you know how could I accept this from the command? I have added the -certificate (with the fingerprint shown in the log) to my command and still can't make it work

This is what my log shows

What version of WinSCP are you using? Make sure you have the latest (stable) one.

I am using:

WinSCP Version 4.2.5 (Build 624) could the version be the reason of the problem?

Thanks

That should be OK. But anyway, please upgrade and post a log file.
