I cannot reproduce the problem with your batch file (maybe some formatting was lost while posting).
Anyway, this might help:

If not, please attach the batch file, instead of pasting it to post.

Strange error

2025-05-08 21:48

I'm attempting run run the following:

@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinScp\WinSCP.com" ^
 /log="C:\Users\MHeat\WinSCP.log" /ini=nul ^
/command ^
"open sftp://mark:*******@1xxx.xxx.x.xxx/ -hostkey=""key""" ^
"synchronize both C:\Users\MHeat\WinToLinFileShr /home/mark/WinToLinFileShr" ^
"exit"

I'm getting an error of the following:

[Everything runs fine with authenticating up to this and then it fails". Which "^" is causing the issue?]
