Re: Incompatible External Console Protocol Version 10

@martin Thanks for your quick feedback and as usual you are 100 % right. It's a version issue
after reinstallation it worked like a charm.

Lastly the WinSCP script password a written in plain text is there a way we can secure this?

Re: Incompatible External Console Protocol Version 10

It's most likely the same issue. Your installation of WinSCP is somehow broken. You have different version of winscp.exe and winscp.com (not "winscp.net"). Please reinstall WinSCP.

Good Evening Support Team
I would like to report an error am facing when I run the below script
(note that when I simulate it on a Win 10 machine moving files from my vm (Ubuntu))

pause

option batch abort
option confirm off
open sftp://username:password@ip -hostkey="ssh-ed25519 255 key..."
get /home/rsadmin/script_file_transfer/ptest/* E:\DestinationPswiftTestFolder
exit

When I run the script on my local machine Win 11 moving files from ubuntu VM server
C:\Users\axel.ntore\Desktop\shscripts>"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /ini=nul /log=logfile.log /script=C:\Users\axel.ntore\Desktop\shscripts\ScriptPswift.txt

When I run it on the server I get the following error
Incompatible External Console Protocol Version 10

Unfortunately the log file does not capture anything that I can share.
When I check the forum I noticed that you mentioned for Incompatible External Console Protocol Version 5 , 7 that there was a mismatch of version (winscp.exe and winscp.net) but i am not sure how to check this one too (please advise if that is what could be the cause)

If any details needed please let me know.
