Please read documentation:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripting#hostkey

OK, I have one last problem with this script; In the console, I am getting the following msg.

"The server's host key was not found in the cache. You have no guarantee that the server is the computer you think it is......If you trust this host, press Yes. To connect without adding host key to the cache, press No. To abandon the connection press Cancel.
Continue connecting and add host key to the cache?
(Y)es, (N)o, C(a)ncel, (C)opy Key:
"

I need it to pass on the key automatically. Any insite on how to do this with the example you provided?

Thanks!!!

You have quotes all wrong. I do not know VBS, but I guess right format is:
sftpcmd = "winscp /console /command ""open sftp://nstcn61:password@10.10.1.100 -hostkey=""""ssh-rsa 1024 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"""""" ""put c:\sysaudit\*.*"" ""close"" ""exit"""

Of course the XX:XX:XX... has to be replaces with actual fingerprint.
