SFTP Password problem in batch file

2020-11-16 20:12

My WinSCP Version is 5.15.1 (Build 9407)
In WinSCP-GUI (Example in the attachment) it works, but in batch-Script not

Example:
„internet-aaa.bbb.de“ is a proxy with password protection
„sftp.dis-boncult“ is the sftp-server I want to connect on

The Code-generator gives me only a version with one password

open sftp://user5,user5_jju@sftp.dis-boncult.de:Password1@internet-aaa.bbb.de/

but I need the password for the proxy too

open sftp://user5,user5_jju@sftp.dis-boncult.de:Password1@internet-aaa.bbb.de:Password2/

But it doesn't works. Can you please give me an example how I can solve this problem.

So how do you authenticate in the GUI? Please post a session log file for the GUI session.

In the GUI the password for the proxy is stored in the field "Kennwort". After pressing the button "Anmelden" a Window-Dialog pops up and asking me to enter the sftp-server password.

But in batch-Script I get this error

...

In the Attachement you can find the session log file for the GUI session.

OK, scripting does not support this.
This issue has been added to the tracker:
https://winscp.net/tracker/1928
You can vote for it there.

Meanwhile, you might be able to use input redirection to provide the second password:

echo password2| winscp.com /script=yourscript_with_passord2.txt
