1) You have to specify filename after /log:

winscp /log=c:\winscp.log

2) Only output of winscp.com (not winscp.exe) can be redirected.

Can't get log or output

2008-04-22 14:56

Hey all -

I'm setting up WinSCP to download our webhost files to an office PC.

I'm writing a script to have an automated download every morning, but I'm having problems testing and troubleshooting it. The files aren't being downloaded, and I can't figure out why. Furthermore, I can't get logging to work, which is really the problem.

I'm using the /log switch, but I don't see any log file created. I did a Windows search, but if it turned up, I didn't see it in all the results. I also tried outputting the results to a text file, as the documentation recommends, but the output file is empty.

C:\Program Files\WinSCP>winscp.exe  /log /script=download_backups.txt > output.txt

C:\Program Files\WinSCP>dir output.txt

04/22/2008  09:49a                   0 output.txt

               1 File(s)              0 bytes

Where is the log file located?
