Your sftp application is likely failing because you need to accept the fingerprint of the server. The Putty suite caches it in the reg key: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys\" You can either prepopulate it for the server you're using or try another application. SSH.com's scp2 app caches the info in a file that can accompany the script. This was the solution I ended up with. D:\scp2>tree /F /A ssh D:\scp2\SSH | default.ssh2 | defaultsftp.ssh2 | identification | keymap22.map | output.map | RandomSeed | +---hostkeys | key_22_10.2.10.208.pub | +---TransferLists | defaultsftp.ssh2_Queue.txt | \---UserKeys cert cert.pub Just call the application similar to scp2.exe -k ssh -i userkeys/cert.ppk %filename% %scpuser%@%scpserver%:%filename% -Jeff On 11 Dec 2005 19:05:38 -0000, 299bowler () gmail com <299bowler () gmail com> wrote:
