Host does not exist error in SSIS

I developed a script:

option batch on
option confirm off
open <session name>
cd <directory containing remote file>
get <remote file name> <local path>
exit

When I run open <session name> from the command window, it connects just fine. When I run the script in the Execute Process Task of SSIS, it prints:

Searching for host...
Host does not exist

Thanks,

Please read FAQ. If that does not help, come back.

I am getting the same error. I am trying to automate the upload of a file to a STFP server. The script that I have created works just fine from a command prompt, but when I set up the Execute Process Task in SSIS, I just get the error message that the Server Host does not exist. I am using WinSCP 4.2.9.

I have set up the Argument as follows:

Arguments: -script = C:\mylocaldir\script.txt


Any ideas on how to get this to work???

Have you read the FAQ referenced above?

Hey, this FAQ didn't help me, i am still having the same issues, i am running the task on my remote desktop, winscp connects to the host fine but ssis does not

Sorry, your post does not include enough information.

Please read how to troubleshoot problems with WinSCP. If it turns out that you are not able to help yourself, read how to ask for support or report bugs efficiently, so others can help you.
