Strange issue with WinSCP
OK so this post is gonna be a little bit longer but hang in there.
First of all I am fully aware of WinSCP and most of its features, been using WinSCP for many many years.
So I have a script getting files from an SFTP that has been running for 2-3 years, one time each week and it has been running smoothly without issues. The address for the SFTP changed and I updated the script and key but now a lot of strange things is happening.
So this is the command that is running WinSCP with the script file.
The script file looks like this.
So normally when things don't work I run this with logs and go through the logs to figure out what's wrong but
don't give me any logs, it looks like it's doing nothing at all.
Removing the last part and running it like this:
Starts WinSCP with blank connection information.
I can't remember there being any updates installed lately and I am currently running
Version 5.9.5 (Build 7441)
And I can access the SFTP using winSCP GUI with no trouble. I have tried using the self creating script from the GUI, I have rechecked the key and tried everything but it seems running it with the script file nothing happens.
I tried switching to
So I am not sure what to do next since I cannot give you a log of what's happening, any ideas?

I tried switching to
winscp.com and use the batch file way but then I get the error
And yeah I have multiple scripts running almost the same solution against different sites and its working without any issues, these are automated, when trying to run one of the files, that is working automatized, manually it also behaves in the same way as the example above.Incompatible external console protocol version 9.
So I am not sure what to do next since I cannot give you a log of what's happening, any ideas?
