I have a .bat file that executes perfectly when run on its own. When used in Windows Task Scheduler it runs, but always downloads the wrong file (the same file each time). I know the scripting is good because we have other scheduled tasks that use the same script and work perfectly. The task is configured the same as all other tasks utilizing the same script, and it is using the same credentials as when I run the .bat file manually.
WinSCP is supposed to download a file based upon yesterday's date. When run manually it does it perfectly every time. When run from the task scheduler it always downloads the file dated '20180928'. I am including my .bat script here for review, but I truly believe the problem is elsewhere. Any ideas?
