Re: Scripted SFTP fails with Cannot Overwrite Remote File

I assume that /cygdrive/e is a target directory. In such case, you are missing trailing slash. It should be /cygdrive/e/.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session_putfiles#remotepath

Or use Session.PutFilesToDirectory:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session_putfilestodirectory

See also https://winscp.net/eng/docs/faq_script_vs_gui#inputs

You also urgently need to upgrade, WinSCP 5.5.5 is over 7 years old.
