sftp - WinSCP command line - Too many parameters for command 'open' when using -rawtransfersettings switch

Question

I am getting "Too many parameters for command 'open'." error when trying to connect to a server for below command,

option confirm off 
open sftp://uname:pwd@abc.example.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -timeout=60 -rawsettings SendBuf=0 SshSimple=1 -rawtransfersettings IgnorePermErrors=0 PreserveTimeDirs=0 

I have checked lot of other posts mentioning the use of Double-Quotes for text having space and I think my above script is complaint with that. If I remove the last set of parameters followed by -rawtransfersettings my script work fine. That is the open sftp://uname:pwd@abc.example.com/ -hostkey="ssh-rsa 1024 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" -timeout=60 -rawsettings SendBuf=0 SshSimple=1 commands works perfectly.

I am not sure how to proceed further with this as I am new to command scripting world.

Answer 1

WinSCP open command has no -rawtransfersettings switch.

That switch belongs to file transfer commands, like get, put, etc.
