WinSCP executing script from command line

Hi. I am trying to create a script to login and get a file using the command line tool. I don't think I am doing it right and what I see on WinSCP help is not helping much. Can someone paste a couple of lines of code to show me how this is done? No matter how I write the script, it's always asking me for username & password.

here's the last script:

option batch on
option confirm off
open user:password@express.com
option transfer binary
get testfile1.txt c:\Temp\
close

and the output:


batch on
confirm off
Initialisation...
Searching for host...
Connecting to host...
Authenticating...
Using username "user".
Authenticating with pre-entered password.
Access denied.
Authentication failed.
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "user".
Authenticating with pre-entered password.
Access denied.

Unable to authenticate
transfer binary
No session.
No session.


any ides?

Thanks for your help

(if I posted this twice, my apologies)

Does none know the answer to this question?
Can such thing be done?

The script is ok. Are you able to login from GUI with the same username/password as you use in the script?

Hi Prikryl,

I have the same problem and to anwer your question, YES I am able to login with same user id and pwd usinng interactive command line and GUI. But when running through a batch file I am getting same error.

Can you please reply.

Hi Prikryl,

Sorry for posting in a hurry.

I gave wrong user id. Now it is working.
