I am using WINScp to automatically download several .zip files from a third party ftp server. On the scheduled task I have done everything that the guide on this site has told me to do and the log files post this.

. 2015-05-20 15:18:44.979 Looking up host "open "Location""
Ok. SO most of it looks good of course so I think the issues revolves around my arguments section of it. Below are my arguments.
/command "option batch abort" "option confirm off" /log="E:\Dir1\Dir2\Logs\Winscp.log" "open ""Location""" "get ""\*.zip"" ""E:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\""" "exit"
Ok so when I manually use the program to connect to this ftp site I use FTP and a TLS connection. It has my credentials saved under the "Location" name. I have tried using
"open ""ftp://user:password@ftp.location.net/"""
