Please read article on reporting bugs and asking for support. You may find there hints that may help you to resolve your problem or at least to report the problem more effectively.

I had a similar problem, everything would work in interactive mode but using the password in a script would fail.

Fix: Don't forget to encode your password!
E.g.

winscp> open sftp://some-user:my+1password@someserver.com

should be

winscp> open sftp://some-user:my%2B1password@someserver.com


Here use this to encode

Alexandern - Thank for so much for answering the question. I had a similar problem and had already read much of the documentation. The previous responses frustrated me as they clearly not helpful at all. Those types of responses could be generated by bot. Alas, here you not only posted the exact answer I needed, but you gave an example that helped me to instantly understand what you were saying. Now I'm thinking "got to write a script to encode my password, here I go" ... but you you really went the extra mile and provided the handy link to encode a password. Great answer, please keep up the good work.

Great. Thank you! This was the clear answer for this question. The link to the encoding webpage was really helpful.
:D

were it say`s "HOST" it means enter the ip address ,NOT of your computer ,it means the ip address of your IPOD/IPHONE etc

That was the fix for me. Thank you very much! You saved my day.

The easiest is to have WinSCP generate the session URL for you:

Hello,

to connect to my server I use the following commands:
option batch on
option confirm off
open sftp://otuser:OTMC4societe!@ptrimv03:22

But when connecting here is the error message that I have:
batch on
confirm off
Searching for host...
Connecting to host...
Authenticating...
Using username "user".
Authenticating with pre-entered password.
Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 0.
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "user".
Authentication failed.


Obviously to connect to the server I must, after filling in the login and password, validate my connection, but I do not know how to fill that in the command line.

Could you help me?

Thank you in advance.

Gilles

The credentials in the script are wrong. Are you able to connect in GUI? If you are, follow the advice in my previous post.
