Script Automation synchronize from remote to local

HI,
I'm fairly new to this scripting, I'm trying to synchronize from a remote root director(ip address) to a local root directory. I have masked the Ip address as this a public forum, otherwise, the rest of the script is exactly has I have it written.

open sftp://username:password@xxx.xxx.xx.x/ -hostkey=""ssh-rsa 1024 e4:dd:11:2e:82:34:ab:62:59:1c:c8:62:1d:4b:48:99"""
"synchronize local Z:\ /" "exit"

Here is my batch file:
winscp.exe /console /script=backup.txt
pause

Can you please tell me why it's not synchronizing to my local drive.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Lori

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

Thank you for your assistance, I actually had my scripting correct, I just had it in the wrong location on my computer, I needed to store the batch file locally and not on my network drive, once I corrected that, it worked successfully.
