Re: Download Files to Network Drive Using Different Credentials

This does not really look like WinSCP question. Did you verify that the W: drive is actually mapped in your task scheduler session? I guess it's not.

Download Files to Network Drive Using Different Credentials

Here is the script I am trying to run: 

& "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" `
  /log="C:\FTP Files\LogFiles\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul `
  /command `
    "open name_of_site" `
    "cd /out" `
    "lcd W:\" `
    "get *" `
    "exit"
 
$winscpResult = $LastExitCode
if ($winscpResult -eq 0)
{
  Write-Host "Success"
}
else
{
  Write-Host "Error"
}
 
exit $winscpResult


When I manually run this Poweshell script, it runs without any issue. But when I run it to Task Scheduler, it fails to run.

This is part of the WinSCP log: 

> 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 Script: lcd W:\

< 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 Script: Error changing directory to 'W:\'.

< 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 System Error.  Code: 3.



< 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 The system cannot find the path specified

. 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 Script: Failed

. 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 Script: Exit code: 1

. 2020-06-08 09:35:01.593 Closing connection.


On my computer, W: is mapped to a network location and is connecting with different credentials. Is there a way to run this script automatically so that I can download a file to a network location?

Also, I have tried this multiple times and have tried running the task as both the user I am logged in as and as the user that has access to the network location.
