No mapping for the Unicode character

2016-08-04 08:52

Hello,
at home I have a SFTP server Bitvise SSH 7.12. Every day I transfer some datas to this server using a batch file.

"c:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\Winscp" /console /script=d:\nachEDFB\winscp-mand.txt /log="D:\nachEDFB\winscp-mand.log" /loglevel=0 >text.txt

option batch on
option confirm off
open Server-EDFB-SFTP
synchronize remote -delete d:\mysqldump-NAS\ /mand -filemask="*.rar|*.ntx;*.db"
synchronize remote -delete d:\nachEDFB\ nachEDFB -filemask="*.log|*.ntx;*.db"
exit

Everything worked perfect. Now I updated to Winscp 5.9.6786 and get an error when using the batch file.

No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page

Transfer files by using the normal programm everything works fine.

Do someone know what my problem is?

Thanks
Wolfgang

When do you get the error? Before WinSCP starts, when it is starting, or while it is running?

Can you post a screenshot? And your batch file?

What version were you using before?

batch file is:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\Winscp" /console /script=d:\nachEDFB\winscp-mand.txt /log="D:\nachEDFB\winscp-mand.log" /loglevel=0 >text.txt

As you can see in my batch I routed the batch output into a file text.txt

What version were you using before?

I used 5.7.7 before.

Thanks. So you get the error message in the text.txt? Is there any other output in the text.txt?

Anyway, I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.
