Session is already open

2023-06-14 15:09

Hi there:
I am using C# to programmatically upload/download files to and SFTP site, but I have been receiving the error

Session is already open

session.DebugLogPath = @"C:\\DigitalPen\debug.log";
// Connect
session.Open(sessionOptions);
session.ExecutablePath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP";

If I set the ExecutablePath property before the Open method:

session.DebugLogPath = @"C:\\DigitalPen\debug.log";
session.ExecutablePath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP";
 
// Connect
session.Open(sessionOptions);

The error I get is

C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP does not exists.

Please help!

Please disregard, I ended up removing the line below and now it works like a charm.

session.ExecutablePath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\WinSCP"

Had you actually needed to set the Session.ExecutablePath, note that it should be set to a complete path to the WinSCP.exe, not just to a path to the directory that contains it.
