Can you elaborate please? I'm afraid we might have different expectations.

Btw, isn't it possible that you have some security software installed that may prevent WinSCP from writing those files?

The echo command worked as expected.

What about some evidence that ftp works without elevated privileges?

What if instead of running ftp and winscp, you do:
echo blah > F:\BATCH\ERP\ERP_Email_Phones\HR91PRD\DATA\PAYEMAIL.TXT

See attached WinSCP logs.

I have been deploying WinSCP as a replacement for ftp.exe. We do have several jobs the get/put files from our mainframe. One issue we have run into is that the scripts only work overwriting files if I run them with elevated privilege on the Windows server. Is there any way to avoid this? The user is an administrator of the server in question but he still has to "Run as Administrator". Scripts to our regular FTP servers are not affected.
