Error setting Session protocol to FTP

I'm trying to connect to an FTP server using PowerShell.

When I set the session parameters, it won't allow FTP:
# Load the WinSCP .NET assembly
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCPnet.dll"
 
# Initialize a new WinSCP session
$sessionOptions = New-Object WinSCP.SessionOptions -Property @{
    Protocol = Protocol.Ftp
    HostName = "myftp.com" # Your remote host
    UserName = "myname"
    Password = "mypass"
}

My original syntax was this:
Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::ftp
When I check the value of the protocol after, it is always SFTP.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
Gary

Re: Error setting Session protocol to FTP

The Protocol.Ftp won't even compile.
The [WinSCP.Protocol]::Ftp is correct (lowercase ftp is acceptable too).
When I run your code with Protocol = [WinSCP.Protocol]::ftp, the log shows:
. 2024-05-02 08:44:27.298 Transfer Protocol: FTP
If you still have problems, please post your new code and corresponding log file.

Per my original post, I tried that first.
I changed the syntax based on what I found in other posts - I figured I'd try it.

Any other thoughts?
