Re: %ERRORLEVEL% is always 0
I do not think this is WinSCP problem. It's batch file problem.
See Errorlevel in a For loop (Windows batch)

WinSCP.com (WinSCP-Portable V5.21.7) on a Windows Server 2019 Standard (64-bit OS, x64-based processor).
We have a batch file that calls
WinSCP.com to upload specific files, if any, to an FTP server. That works so far.
Now we wanted to extend the batch file to send an e-mail if a problem with the upload pops up (e.g. connection problems...).
However, we found that
%ERRORLEVEL% is always 0, regardless of whether the connection to FTP was successful or not.
Here is an excerpt from the batch file that calls WinSCP.com:

The script file contains nothing magical for our tests because we expect a connection problem anyway:
The log-file of the batch always shows 0 for
%ERRORLEVEL% and moves the target file to the backup directory even if a connection to the FTP could not be established and we actually expect something other than 0 for %ERRORLEVEL%. Here what we see in this log file:
############################################# JOB START ###############################################

1 file(s) moved.
############################################# PROGRAM END #############################################
And that is from the WinSCP log file:
...

< 2023-02-14 14:26:54.756 Script: Connection failed.
< 2023-02-14 14:26:54.756 Connection failed.
Why do we always get 0 in
%ERRORLEVEL%, even if connection fails? What are we missing?
