Currently I'm programmatically trying to upload files to a server using the WinSCP API.
However looking at the log files every time I attempt to do this I get an error stating that the remote file or it's directory doesn't exist.
Code:
Dim objftp As New WinSCP.SessionOptions
objftp.HostName = Server
objftp.PortNumber = Port
objftp.Protocol = Protocol.Sftp
objftp.UserName = User
objftp.Password = Password
objftp.PrivateKeyPassphrase = "passPhrase"
objftp.SshPrivateKeyPath = "\\PathToPrivatekey.ppk"
objftp.GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey = True
Dim session As New Session
session.Timeout = System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)
session.SessionLogPath = "C:\Temp\ftpLog\winscp.log"
session.Open(objFTP)
Dim transferOptions As New TransferOptions
transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary
transferOptions.ResumeSupport.State = TransferResumeSupportState.Off
Dim transferResult As TransferOperationResult
strLocalFile = FilePath & FileName
strRemoteFile = FileName
transferResult = session.PutFiles(strLocalFile, "/In/", False, transferOptions)
transferResult.Check()
session.Close()
Now I have manually using WinSCP connected to the server and I can verify that the /In/ directory does exist. I am using a Windows OS to do this. I don't have full details on the server I'm connecting to as it's a third party I'm sending information to.
Is there something I'm missing in my code?
EDIT: As requested this is my logs:

While I cannot tell for sure, as you didn't provide enough information, my guess is that your real target path should be like
/Home/user/In/, not just/In/.From the GUI log, it seems that your account is not chrooted, as the home directory is
/Home/user/, not/.
