In the latest version of WinSCP you can use /loglevel=* command-line switch to enable password logging, so you can check if correct password is used.

Here i Use the Latest version of WINSCP,At last authentication by hostkey has been successfully done But,while giving the password, it tells that access is denied.(Keyboard interactive authentication)
Here even i use encoded form of Special character in password field.then what will be the probable cause???. i share the log file.
Even Password is correct and same Password is used in another automation script for downloading data by FTP script.

Checking the log file, your problem has nothing to do with the password. You do not even pass a hostkey verification. The reason is that you are using an ancient version of WinSCP (4.0.5 - 8 years old!) that does not support the -hostkey switch (let alone the %TIMESTAMP% syntax).

You need to URL-encode the @.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/session_url

There is no Space in password,But of course there is "@" sign, Will this create any trouble.
When i use the hostkey option,as i said previously,i get tag like "Too many arguments in open command".then abort.

Is there a space in your password? What version of WinSCP are you using?

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. 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 can mark the attachment as private.

Authentication failure/////Access denied

I use WinSCP script to get data,whose name comprise of timestamp. But unfortunately, I am restricted at the very first while authenticating.
Here my script that i use

option batch abort

option confirm off

open sftp://user:password@10.10.10.10/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 2048 XX:XX:....:XX"

cd /bam/backup

option transfer binary

get filename.%TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd%

close 

exit

while i use this at line 3, i get a prompt "Too many arguments"
when i replace it by just

open user@10.10.10.10

then "password= " prompt is highlighting,but after giving password ,i get the tag like "KEYBOARD INTERACTIVE AUTHENTICATION , ACCESS DENIED". then prompt for password needed is showing again,but don't log in.

I have some queries::::::::
1.Can i use generated key by Puttygen function as hostkey ,Here i use it.
2.Can i use any user rather than root,Here i don't use root.
