Error with powershell and xml settings file for WINSCP Protocol setting

Hi everyone
I get this error: The value supplied is not valid, or the property is read-only. Change the value, and then try again.
If I hard code the value it works fine. I've checked the value is being pulled from the xml file by doing a write-output and it's fine. The other values work fine, its just the Protocol. I've tried all four combinations of "" around the value. Any ideas ? Huge thanks. Adam

PowerShell won't convert string "[WinSCP.Protocol]::ftp" to enumeration value [WinSCP.Protocol]::Ftp. But it will convert simple "ftp".

But now I have the same problem with the tlshostcertificatefingerprint, this time even when I hardcode the string powershell rejects it with the same error message: Error: The value supplied is not valid, or the property is read-only. Change the value, and then try again.

Any help very gratefully recieved

All fixed now I was using #tlshostcertificatefingerprint instead of SshHostKeyFingerprint in the session options
All fixed - Thanks for reading
