GUI works, Command Line fails FTPS

I have read through the forums for what seems like forever. The problem is I can't list the directories or get files from the ftps site in the command line mode. I can use the GUI by setting Passive and Force IP, and the GUI works great. I have already created an ini file based on my GUI settings and it still fails. Here is the script I am using.

winscp.com /script=TxEISBackup.txt /log=log.txt /ini=WinSCP.ini

The script is basic and just contains the open ftps site and the username and password

Here is my ini file settings for passive as created by GUI.
FSProtocol=5
FtpForcePasvIp=1
Ftps=3

The log file just shows it connecting as Passive with the private ip still. I connect just fine and can change directories, just can't get a dir or transfer any files.

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

Here is the log file. I think the problem is the command line still isn't forcing the ip, as where I highlighted bold in the log.

Can you post a script file? When using GUI, are you using the same INI file?

I don't have access to the server during the weekend. However, the script file only has the open command with the username and password attached, and then it calls a txt file to change director and get a couple files . The script is working from other environments as is, however their firewall isn't requiring to Force IP as this one is. It doesn't work if you do it manually either, by running winscp.com, without the script. Any time you try to put, get, or do a directory listing it errors as previously stated.

The INI file is the same as used by the GUI. I created the connection in the GUI, changed everything to correct settings, checked connection and that I could directory list(successful), and then exported the GUI settings to that INI as suggested.

But you are not supposed to use any username/password in the script. You should use the stored session name.

Dear Prikryl,

How can I use the stored session name in the script?
