Using VB.NET 2005 with the following code--Exception occurs

2010-03-08 19:42

Dim winscp As Process = New Process()
        winscp.StartInfo.FileName = "winscp.com"
        winscp.StartInfo.Arguments = "/log=" + logname
        winscp.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
        winscp.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
        winscp.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
        winscp.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
        winscp.Start()

When it executes, I get an unhandled exception saying "The system can not find the file specified" at the last line. This code was copied from the website for VB.NET automation here.

Problem is, I can't tell what file the system can not find. The data of the error says nothing.

Are you sure winscp.com can be found without specifying a full path in your setup?

That's what I was kind of wondering about. The examples on the .NET webpage didn't specify a path at all, but I couldn't tell what the error was referring to. Let me try it with the full path on my next batch run and see if that clears it up.

VB.NET implementation failing

2010-10-14 20:38

I implemented very simple application using the VB.NET class posted and tried tu upload a text file to an SFTP server (I can connect via another SFTP client). The code fails when it can't find a log file, on this line:
If Not File.Exists(logname) Then

Please advise. All I need to do is automate a daily file upload of a file matching a particular naming convention in a standard directory. .NET may be overkill, but I don't understand the explanation about Aautomating scripts - it seems to be full of holes. If I can get this working I'll gladly donate $100+

Thanks

What code/class do you refer to?
