Thank you, it works like a charm! Now if I can just get it to work with variables in place of the username and password, I'll be all set.

Sorry, I should have stated that I am able to ping\connect to that host manually.

Also, if I use the same command (open username:password@sftp.domain.com) by calling a script file ("C:\Program Files\WinSCP\winscp.exe" /console /script=C:\Scripts\sftptest\winscp.txt), it works. Just not when I try to connect with the command on one line.

Try to ping your sft host what do you get?
from command prompt ping sft.domain.com
Are you sure you typed the correct sftp site? are you sure it is .com and not something else

My ultimate goal is to use WinSCP to read usernames and passwords from a csv file and upload a test file to each account. I am trying to establish just connecting from the command line. This is my sanitized command. My password does not have any special characters in it.

"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\winscp.exe" /console /command /log "option batch on" "option confirm off" "open username:password@sftp.domain.com" "put c:\Scripts\sftptest\testfile.txt" "exit"

When I run this command I get "Searching for host. Host does not exist". How can I pass the username and password on one line? I was hoping to put this command in a script and replace the username and password with variables.
