This is not about "WinSCP not liking a slash". On Windows, you cannot use a slash in a filename.

Ok so it was just the format of the string in the date - it doesn't like the "/" characters in the filename.
Changed it to
and then works just fine
Changed it to
$DateTime = Get-Date -format dd-MM-yyyy
and then
$session.SessionLogPath = "X:\Logs\Daily Download $DateTime.log"

Logging to a file with today's date and time
Hi,
I'm trying to to write output to a logfile with today's date and time in the name of the file, so i'd have a new file for each day's transfer activities.
Logging works fine if i don't insert a date/time variable into the filename like so:
But if i try and enter the date/time variable - it tries but then fails:
Even though it seems to accept the variable in the filename it can't find it or create it - but as I've mentioned, works fine without the variable so the same file location.
i know its not permissions since it can write to the same location without the variable inserted.
Any ideas?

Even though it seems to accept the variable in the filename it can't find it or create it - but as I've mentioned, works fine without the variable so the same file location.
Can't open log file 'X:\Logs\TransferLog-2018/09/25.log'.
System Error. Code: 2.
The system cannot find the file specified"
