I've got the same:
Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 1. Error detecting variable containing return code of last command.

when tried to execute following command-line: 
winscp.com password:username @unix_server.com /command "ls L*" "cd Load"  "ls p*" "call sh probe.ksh"

Exit happened when I tried to invoke script probe.ksh on Unix side, where we have /usr/lbin/sftp-server.

I had the same problem and i was able to resolve it.

The passwd file points to the default location of where the user will first see. By default, it is /home/<USERNAME>. The problem came when I wanted to point it to another hard drive and following the instructions in the readme I updated some registry keys.

IT IS CASE SENSITIVE. Make sure if you want to point to, lets say the e:\ .. it is E:\.

That's the problem I had, and I was able to resolve the issue without resorting to using another program.

Re: Conn unexpectedly closed. Server sent cmd exit status 1

OpenSSH published at sshwindows.sourceforge.net has a glitch on a Windows 2003 server.
I had exactly the same problem as you're describing, and eventually found copSSH (https://itefix.net/copssh-server). This openssh distribution works fine with Windows 2003 Server.

It's not a WinSCP problem, but sshwindows problem. Anyway sshwindows is no longer maintained.

Good luck.

Re: Conn unexpectedly closed. Server sent cmd exit status 1

It seems that the SSH server is not able to launch the SFTP server. Check if the binary /usr/sbin/sftp-server exists and if the user being logged in has sufficient permissions to execute it.

Conn unexpectedly closed. Server sent cmd exit status 1

If possible can someone please help me with OpenSSH/WinSCP? (I'm new to the OpenSSH env)

I have installed OpenSSH on a windows 2003 server and are trying to connect from WinSCP to the Windows server 2003.

I get the following error from WinSCP:
Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 1.

What does this mean? Please help Urgent project to complete.
