Unable to connect to host "C" when trying to launch WinSCP.com script from a batch file with variables as parameters.
If I run the command manually in the cmd window it works correctly. From the WinSCP log it appears the host name is being changed to C even though, the command output appears correct.
Scripts were sanitized to remove private info
