Searching for host in script, but works in GUI

2017-07-26 15:29

Trying to connect to an SFTP site using a bat file that calls a script.
I'm able to connect via the WinSCP GUI but when launching the bat file, a DOS screen tells me "searching for host" then closes with out connecting.
Here's the script file I'm using: What do I have wrong?

option batch abort
option confirm off
 
open sftp://Account:password@FTX-SERVSH.bnymellon.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa-9e-c2-dd-6d-86-a6-30-56-9d-ea-99-de-ff-c3-5f-2d"
 
synchronize remote \\amna1wgraapx01\apx$\rep\jpmDailyReports\ /advent

In GUI, you are using SOCKS5 proxy. In scripting you are connecting directly.

Have WinSCP GUI generate a script file template with proxy settings for you:
