searching for host

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

Show us a complete session log file both from GUI and the script.

here are the logs

log from the script

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:

I'm not seeing the script tab. I only see the Generate URL option. how do I get tot he Script Tab to generate the WinSCP script?

You have to upgrade to the latest version of WinSCP.

Thanks Martin, that works nice!
