Generated script file not work (Expected host key was not configured)

2021-10-20 22:23

Hi, I can manually transfer files through WinSCP GUI, but when I generated the Power Shell script, the script file doesn't work.

The below is major part of the script file (I added password into it):

"open scp://username2:password2@142.245.206.123/ -hostkey=`"`"ssh-rsa 2048 Y3P6mwpIMDu64ngZsiqOe9VVVK4vmnCubTg/T3YZIXE=`"`" -rawsettings Tunnel=1 TunnelHostName=`"`"142.245.207.12`"`" TunnelUserName=`"`"username1`"`" TunnelPasswordPlain=`"`"password1`"`"" `

The below is the log file:
