incompatible external console protocol version 6

I get this error "incompatible external console protocol version 6" when trying to execute my Powershell script.

I just updated to 554 version of WinSCP. Seems to help, now I just get a timeout error :(

How can i define a port in my powershell script?

You were using a very different versions of WinSCP and the WinSCP .NET assembly and you tried to overcome that by setting Session.DisableVersionCheck. You should always use the same version of both components.

Use SessionOptions.PortNumber:

Hi Martin,

I got the same error with WinSCP 5.1.2.0 and WinSCPnet.dll version 5.5.6.0
of course i turned off the version check on my session (using Powershell script)

I saw somewhere on the site said the dll file will work with any WinSCP version 5+

Anyway I can overcome this error without installing the later version of WinSCP??

Thanks,
Meng

WinSCP .NET assembly is supported since version 5.0.6 only. And generally it's not recommended to use different version of the assembly and WinSCP. What's the problem about upgrading WinSCP?

Hi I downloaded the version WinSCP 5.7.3 . But get in VB.Net the error message :

{WinSCP.SessionLocalException: You can disable this check using Session.DisableVersionCheck ( not recommended ) . at WinSCP.ExeSessionProcess.CheckVersion (String ExePath , FileVersionInfo AssemblyVersion ) at WinSCP.ExeSessionProcess..ctor ( Session session ) at WinSCP.Session.Open ( Session Options Session Options

but when I sat Session.DisableVersionCheck = true , then I get the error message :

incompatible external console protocol version 5

can you help me pls?

Still the same: You are using a different versions of WinSCP and the WinSCP .NET assembly. You should always use the same version of both components.
