And what is your "OS platform"?

Please attach a full debug log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the debug log file, set Session.DebugLogPath. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

I figured it out. This happened because I did not specify the executable path.

Thank you for your help!!

@varunswarup0: I'd guess that @seanfaria was referring to Session.ExecutablePath:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session#executablepath
Though I'm not sure how it can help in this case.
