Too many parameters for option option
Hi,
Im currently scripting a backupscript in Powershell. Unfortunately I get the error "Too many parameters for option option". Going through the forum it often was an outdated WinSCP-version or simple misspelling or wrong characters. I can't see any of that in my case though, maybe you can see?
Here's my script:
as you can see in the end of the script I experimented with using a scriptfile, which once uncommented works just fine, like this:
unfortunately if I write my password into this scriptfile in plaintext all my effort of scripting this leads to a security issue, which I don't want.
Does anybody see my error?
