Windows 2016 Task Manager and SCP with Hostkey

Afternoon all

I have a variety of WinSCP scripts triggered by Task Manager which work perfectly. All scripts are accessing SFTP sites and downloading csv files.

I am currently struggling with a script using a hostkey using Pageant that works perfectly as a script but not when triggered by Task Manager. Could someone cast an eye over the code and let me know where I appear to be going wrong.

As mentioned the script works perfectly but when adding WinSCP path to the Task then adding in the syntax into Parameter it does not execute.

@echo off

"E:\SFTP_Software\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" ^
/command ^
"open sftp://***@*******/ -hostkey=""ssh-*********************""" ^
"cd /****/****/******/" ^
"lcd **********" ^
"mget /********/*.csv" ^

"cd /**********" ^
"get *.csv" ^
"cd /**********" ^
"put *.csv" ^

"rm /*********/*.csv" ^

set WINSCP_RESULT=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %WINSCP_RESULT% equ 0 (
echo Success
) else (
echo Error
)

close

exit

Thank you

Hi

Can anyone help with the correct syntax for a scheduled task?

Thank you

Mike

What you have posted is a batch file. If you want to execute the batch file, you need to specify the path to the batch file in the Scheduler task. Not a path to WinSCP. How do you execute your other tasks?

I do not see what does your question have to do with host key or Pageant. And Pageant has nothing to do with host keys either.
