Re: Password must be entered after WinSCP update

This is most likely caused by this change:
Issue 1647 – Do not match URL after stripping protocol against stored site name in scripting/automation

So either add the password to your script. Or if you want to keep relying on the stored password (not recommended), use the actual name of your stored site in the open command. I assume the name is UserName@ServerName, not sftp://UserName@ServerName.

If you still have problems, please post session log file.

Password must be entered after WinSCP update

I was doing a file transfer from a batch file using a script in WinSCP with a host key (ssh-rsa 2048). I recently updated WinSCP from version 5.5.3 (build 4214) to version 5.19.6 (build 12002).
As a result, the batch file now prompts you to enter a password that was not required in previous versions when running WinSCP.
What should I do to avoid entering the password? Thank you.
