How to close WinSCP batch file

I have created a batch file for our SFTP process using WinSCP. The batch file and process executes correctly but for some reason after completing the console returns to a winscp prompt and does not close. I have tried adding "close,disconnect,etc." to the batch, but nothing seems to work except manually going in and typing exit. Does anyone know of a way to close down the console once the batch has executed? Thanks.

simple batch

cd\
cd c:\progra~2\WinSCP
winscp.com /script=SFTP.txt
close

Add an "exit" :)

That's correct, use exit command:

I am using exit command and it still doesn't exit. I am using PUT command to upload file and right after that I am using exit command and yet WinSCP doesn't close. Any idea why it is happening?

Thanks

Please start a new thread and attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

exit is a dos command, close is an ftp command.
use close after you've finished with ftp, and then add an exit to close the batch script.
