opening session.... is deprecated

I've been using a script to download a daily file from a server for several years and recently had to change to a new server that holds my file in a different directory. I changed the location in the script, but now I get a couple of new errors in the log (custom built log to echo everything the script does into a text file) which says:
"Opening session using command-line parameter in scripting is deprecated. Use 'open' command instead.
Error occurred during logging. It's been turned off."

Here's the part of the script which I use to run WinSCP:
%WinSCP% %profile% /log="%log%" /command "option batch on" "get -delete %remotedir%*.jdb %localdir%" exit

Which runs as:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" SISSVRUTIL02 /log="D:\Scripts\AVDefsDLLog.txt" /command "option batch on" "get -delete /*.jdb D:\VirusDefs\Temp\" exit



Any idea what could be causing this error?
Thanks.

"Opening session using command-line parameter in scripting is deprecated. Use 'open' command instead.

The command-line format you are using was never really allowed and definitely not recommended, you should do:

---

Error occurred during logging. It's been turned off.

There should be more details about the error following the above line.
Anyway, I assume the path to the log file is not valid or is not writable.

Thanks for the tip. That fixed it.
The problem with the log error was that I was using the batch file to write other information to the log file. It's acting as though the log file was locked for the batch file's usage and the WinSCP log function couldn't access it because of that. So, now I'm writing a log file for each process.

Thanks for your help!

Simply want to open the winscp site using a script. The script contains:
open sftp://usernameremoved.passwordremoved@example.com/

Yet when the script run, the host is searched for and does not appear.

I assume you use wrong syntax of WinSCP command-line, making WinSCP use some random part of the syntax as a host name.
Please read scripting and command-line documentation properly:

If that does not help, please start a new thread and attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).
