Generate Session URL/Script NOT working

I am new to WinSCP. I am now successfully transferring files from a ftp server manually. I would now like to automate with a batch file.

When I go to Generate Session after manually transferring files it only has the default. It does NOT add the commands that I just ran manually.

Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Generate Session URL/Script NOT working

To generate a script for a transfer, select the files, go to Files > Upload/Download and on the transfer options dialog go to Transfer Settings > Generate Code - i.e. before a transfer, not after a transfer - your actually do not need to transfer anything.

Can't generate code

Martin,

I have version 5.13.7 which I think is latest.
When I go to File -> Download -> Download and Delete, I do not see anywhere any options to generate code.

What am I missing?
Thanks!

Supplied code not working.

I have tried the Batch script and command line for a WebDAV connection and the code provided doesn't connect. It connects fine to the WebDAV server in WinSCP obviously else I could not generate the code. Log path updated as required.

I get same error if run the Batch, Command Line, Script or the VB Net code.

UPDATE 16/08/2019 - OK so I got it working in VB Net and the WinSCP generated code doesn't work as it is missing user password and port number. and needed WebdavRoot set although in VB Net code this is referenced in the GetFiles call.

Your other post:

And FAQ:

Though, if you still believe that WinSCP fails to include password and port number into the generated code, please post more details.
