A site that requires a user name but no password..

How do I use scripting to attach to a site that requires a user name but no password..

Currently I'm just trying to work around the credentials prompt seeming all I have to do is press enter.

This means I can't automatically log on to this site.

Here is my current batch file...
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\winscp" /console /command "option batch on" "open twft" "synchronize local" "V:\localpath /remotepath" "exit"

Is there any way of saving the password as the ascii character for CR or anything or is there a setting I can change so I don't have to be in front of my computer when this runs please?

Thanks

From you other post I suppose you are using FTP, are you?
There's not correct way to do this in WinSCP yet actually, that for bringing this. This issue has been added to tracker.

I believe that you can workaround this by putting anything in the password box.

Thanks, I'll try that. Yes I am using FTP.

Hi,

I was wondering if any progress was made on allowing a batch file to run where no password is required?

I have tried putting in test and a space but as per your suggestion of putting anything in but this hasn't worked.


Cheers!

Just follow the tracker link above.
It shows that this was resolved and shows the syntax needed.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the quick reply!

Is it possible this feature could have been broken in a subsequent update?

I'm using the following code:



And am presented with the attached screen shot where I then need to hit space and then enter before it will proceed to successfully synch.

Any support would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks again!

OK, it is probably this special case, which I was able to reproduce:

Did you try to workaround it by specifying a dummy password?

Hi Martin,

Adding dummy into the password filed worked.

Thanks for your help resolving this.

Much appreciated!

Thanks for your feedback.

Anyway, can you test the fix for me? Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a development version of WinSCP for testing? Please include a link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.
