Retry on Error - in script

I have this winscp script:

open ftp://someplace/
 
cd /
lcd "C:\somefolder\"
 
option batch on
option confirm off
option reconnecttime 5
 
get Y2019
get Y2020
 
exit

It gets multiple folders. However, when one file transfer in a certain folder fails for some connection reason, it stops the whole folder and continues to the next.

. 2020-03-10 00:10:20.752 File: '/Y2019/xxx.FPT' [2020-02-21T15:53:13.000Z] [0000000]

Is there any way to retry a certain file and continue in the same folder? Like clicking RETRY on the error in de GUI? There's no persistent connection problem and the transfer always works on 2nd try. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer.

In the documentation, it says:

When set to continue any choice prompt is automatically replied with “Skip”, “Ignore” or similar answer.

And when I test it, it does indeed choose SKIP instead of RETRY.

This means it does continue within the same directory, but the file itself is still missing.

What version of WinSCP are you using?
Please post a full log file using original option batch on.

Version is 5.15.9 Build 10071

I hope this code is what you were looking for. I cannot send the whole log as it is not anonyimised. Is this the right info?

Oh, my bad. When using original option batch on in the script it looks of course:

You'll always see... no problems since 2020-03-24. I am quite sure they will come back and will report asap to provide you with the necessary information.
