Hello,
I've also received this error using WinSCP.exe. I solved it by adding "option batch abort" and "option confirm off" at the begining of the script.

Kind regards

I had the same return code as you (9009) and I found that was caused by the use of winscp.exe (instead of winscp.com). I just changed that and now my return code is 0.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing your findings!

A question was asked about WinSCP Error Code 9009, to which the reply was given that WinSCP does not have an error code 9009. After receiving this code myself I did a bit of research. The code is apparently not from WinSCP itself, but rather from the underlying development product library (.NET ?), and indicates a malformed path for an error output file, causing the output file to not be found. In my case this was a redirected log output in a batch script that had run each day for quite some time, which implies that the error can be caused by an intermittent situation.

Example excerpt:
set /p RUNDATE=Enter text for RUNDATE (with no spaces):
<entered 20150219>

set LOGGING=C:\Production\SFTP_Servers\BALANCING\Logging
set BASE=C:\Production\SFTP_Servers\ClientA
set SFTPSCRIPTS=C:\Production\SFTP_Servers\Balancing\Windows_Scripts

winscp.com /script="%SFTPSCRIPTS%\SFTP_Script.txt" /parameter "%BASE%" >> %LOGGING%\%RUNDATE%.log

There's no error level 9009 in WinSCP. What are you doing actually?

Hi,
When I execute my script, I get a errorlevel 9009.
Have you info about this error
Regards
