How to enable logging in WinSCP script?

I want to logging all information when WinSCP script shows in console to log file. I try to use output redirection, but log file remains empty.

D:\Programs\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe /script=sync.txt > log.txt

Also I tried to add /console parameter, but result is the same.

P.S. Using /log option is not very useful for me, because it write too much incomprehensible information.

winscp.exe is a GUI application. It does not have a standard output that can be redirected.

For your purposes, there's winscp.com which is a console application. And so it does have a standard output that can be redirected.

D:\Programs\WinSCP\WinSCP.com /script=sync.txt > log.txt

Read about WinSCP executables.

You may also be interested in using "reduced" session logging (WinSCP 5.14 and newer only):

D:\Programs\WinSCP\WinSCP.com /script=sync.txt /loglevel=-1 /log=log.log

Or XML logging:

D:\Programs\WinSCP\WinSCP.com /script=sync.txt /xmllog=log.xml

Both options can be used with winscp.exe too, but for scripting, it generally makes sense to use winscp.com.
