I'm running WinSCP version 6.3.4 on a Windows 11 system with 64 Gb RAM. I developed a batch script that calls WinSCP and transfers a synchronized copy of my GoDaddy account to a local set of folders. Several files include accent characters, like
Château du Lude.jpg.
I'm able to transfer files named like this (both upload and download) using the standard interface. When I use the batch command, it claims the file isn't there to transfer and fails. The XML report looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Although the log states it could not open the remote file because there was no file, the file was there. This is the basic appearance of the batch command that I'm running:
rem @echo off
C:\myapps\winSCPportable\WinSCP.exe /xmllog="C:\myapps\syncGoDaddyAcct\filelog.txt" /command ^
"option batch abort" ^
"option confirm off" ^
"open sftp://mylogin_info" ^
"synchronize local -delete -preservetime N:\GODADDY_BACKUP_6-28-2024\id\homedir\public_html /home/id/public_html" ^
"exit"
