Re: Scripted Get not working

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. For posting extensive logs you may use pastebin or similar application. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

Well command line /log does not work and my Preferences window has no Logging category!

Using WinSCP 4.1.8 Build 415

Maybe I don't have local administration permissions? I did not install WinSCP

First make sure you use the latest version. When opening Preferences dialog from Login dialog, the Logging tab is not shown because it is already on the Login dialog.

Okay do I really need to upgrade?

Enabled logging in the Login/Preferences window but the command line /log still does not generate a log file anywhere.

I do not support old version.

Post an example of command-line you are using.

Got it working.

Upgraded to latest version which had error about remote system's key not in cache. Manually logged in once and then script worked.
