Just upgraded the version from V5.13 to V5.17, it works well. Thanks. (Sorry I don't have the admin role on the dev environment to upgrade version)

I'm pretty sure the version WinSCP v5.13 has the problem of TunnelPasswordPlain in all kinds of scripts.

It seems that you are running WinSCP from command-line. Why don't you use WinSCP .NET assembly? It would take care of correct encoding for you.

Anyway, you can try to enable password logging using /loglevel=*. That might help you with debugging the problem.

I already converted the special character of my password into ASC code such as %21, etc. Both 2 passwords have the special character, the other password works well, only TunnelPasswordPlain has problem.

Doesn't your password contain some special characters than may need escaping in PowerShell or in WinSCP?

The pre-entered password in URL works, but Tunnel Password not working

2021-10-21 17:10

The Windows PowerShell console always ask me to manually enter password, then the following steps work well including the authentication of username/password in the URL.

See the console recording:

PS C:\temp\script> .\Transfer_Files.ps1

TunnelPasswordPlain not working in PowerShell script

2021-10-21 16:23

My WinSCP GUI works well for manfully inputting both Tunnel Username/password and access username/password. But the generated PowerShell script doesn't work. I added password into the script file. But it seems the program doesn't get Tunnel password, it's still say (Password: No).

See below log:

I did use TunnelPasswordPlain, but the log says the password is No:
