Error transferring file - No such file or folder. Syntax error in parameters or arguments.

Hello,
Is there a simple method to correct this, so WinSCP looks at the file name as just a name?
Thanks

See below some files names with "% and numbers" cause WinSCP to interpenetrate it as /
%2f to /
Plus others that cause this error "Syntax error in parameters or arguments."

Looks to be related to the Transfer settings > Filename modification > replace "\:*?`"
I uncheck this in the GUI is will this be reflected while running in PS,
its set to true? 
"DefaultConfiguration          : True"
If not how would I set it to replace? 
PS C:\Users\19202> $session
ExecutablePath                : 
ExecutableProcessUserName     : 
ExecutableProcessPassword     : 
AdditionalExecutableArguments : 
DefaultConfiguration          : True
DisableVersionCheck           : False
Thanks

I tried this, 
$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.FileMask = "| ~*"
$transferOptions.AddRawSettings("ReplaceInvalidChars", "0")
here is what I see, 
PS C:\Users\1234> $transferOptions
PreserveTimestamp : True
FilePermissions   : 
TransferMode      : Binary
FileMask          : | ~*
ResumeSupport     : default
SpeedLimit        : 0
OverwriteMode     : Overwrite
what I get.
Log
Error: Method invocation failed because [WinSCP.TransferOptions] does not contain a method named 'AddRawSettings'.

OK, I (and the documentation) forgot to mention that the TransferOptions.AddRawSettings method is available in the latest RC version of WinSCP only (5.14).

In the older versions, you should be able to use: 
$session.AddRawConfiguration("Interface\CopyParam\ReplaceInvalidChars", "0")
Though 5.14 will be released as stable in few days (as 5.15).

Thanks this works now, 
$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
try
{
    # Will continuously report progress of synchronization
    $session.add_FileTransferred( { FileTransferred($_) } )
    $session.AddRawConfiguration("Interface\CopyParam\ReplaceInvalidChars", "0")
