PowerShell module - Authentication Failure

2020-04-20 20:45

I'm trying to use the WinSCP PowerShell module to make a connection to a remote FTP site. I keep getting "Authentication Failure" but I'm not sure what other options I need to include.

# Setup session options
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
    Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::Ftp
    HostName = "ftp-xxxx.com"
    UserName = 'xxx'
    Password = "xxx"
    PortNumber = 21
    FtpSecure = [WinSCP.FtpSecure]::Explicit
}

I'm mirroring the instructions found on this page:

I'm able to connect using the GUI, so I know I've got the correct login information. I am leaving off the SshHostKeyFingerprint because it didn't seem necessary (where do I even find this information?) but it may be the source of my connection problems.
