Message From server: 141 Can't open log file 'D:\\log.xml'

Please help me to check this problem when logging the action by winscp from client.
I publish the sample code below in server:
But the value of output is like that when I run from client:
winscp> option batch abort
batch abort
winscp> option confirm off
confirm off
winscp> open user:pass@ip_host
141 Can't open log file 'D:\\log.xml'.

And when I check on the hard disk D in server, there's no log file created. Please check and help me ASAP.

Make sure the account that runs the script has write access to C:\

I checked on the iis server that account have full access right. Please check for me that is there anything I need to check more?
The error message is " 141 Can't open log file D:\log.xml".

Thanks for reply.

Okie, I found out the problem. The problem is lacking add the permission for NETWORK_SERVICE.
Thanks for your support.

The weird part is that it gives the 141 can't find log file, but it still writes to the log.

What is command-line you use to run WinSCP? What is startup directory of the command? What is a path to the log folder?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Actually I prepared console application,if I run manually script is working fine. when i automate using windows task scheduler the problem is happening.

I have placed my .exe in following location in a server. C:\FTP_Automation\HRIQ_OTS_FTP. The logs will generate in following location. C:\FTP_Automation\HRIQ_OTS_FTP\logs\.
I have given full access permission as well as I added Network Service account to the "HRIQ_OTS_FTP" folder.

Below is my sample winscp code.

winscp = new Process();
winscp.StartInfo.FileName = ClientPath;
winscp.StartInfo.Arguments = "/log=" + ClientLog;
winscp.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
winscp.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
winscp.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
winscp.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
winscp.Start();
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine("option batch abort");
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine("option confirm off");
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine(string.Format("open sftp://{0}@{1}:{2} -privatekey=\"{3}\"", HostUser, HostIP, HostPort, PrivateKey));
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine(string.Format("StartInfo Argument {0}", winscp.StartInfo.Arguments.ToString()));
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine(string.Format("cd {0}", HostRoot));
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine(string.Format("lcd {0}", ClientRoot));
winscp.StandardInput.WriteLine("option transfer binary");

out put:
winscp> option confirm off
confirm off
winscp> open sftp://hriqftp@210.56.134.96:22 -privatekey="C:\FTP_Automation\HRIQFTPKeys\privatekey.ppk"

EXE location is not the same as startup/working directory. Try setting winscp.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory. Also try using absolute path to an INI file.

Thank you very much Martin Prikryl. Its working fine after I set the winscp.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory= path of exe folder.

Once again Thank you very much. You saved lot of my time.
