Re: authenticating with pre-entered password - access denied

Hi, I met the same issue and got solved by this way: create a new non-administrative Windows account on the server, then connect the session using this account name and password, succeeded.
Suppose Windows does not allow remote access by Admin account for safety concern?

So please contact your server Administrator. You do not have a problem with WinSCP, but with an authentication to your server.
