Automation using Bat/Script via Window server 2012 Scheduler

2013-02-28 12:14

I have used INI method in WINSCP..
When i try to manually run the batch file where Pageant is on system tray. Connection is fine. it does not ask me any password or phrase.
But when i try to run it via Task Scheduler it does not check pageant and ask me for password. DO you have any idea about it please let me know!

Please read documentation:

If that does not help, come back.

I don't think it solves the issue. My question is why it does authenticate with Pageant when i run Batch file manually but not from windows Scheduler??
Have anybody tried it?

Because the pageant needs to run in the same Windows session as WinSCP. Pageant is really not intended for automation.

Actually it was Pass Phrase issue on Privatekey. Is is possible to pass through phrase in script file?
I have to remove Pass phrase to resolve the issue!

I have the same problem - Windows 7 scheduler can not authenticate with Pageant, only from batch file manually.

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.
