Hello Vsoft,

My company BCI is running Automise version 4. We are having trouble with one company whom we send data through SFTP. I have learned that SFTP protocol version 3 will work with their system however I do not see an option inside of Automise to specific the SFTP protocol version. If this feature currently exists please let me know otherwise can this be added. I how you are programming Automise’s backend however WinSCP lists this in the below screen shot.

Also winscp’s command line equivalent is -rawsettings SFTPMaxVersion=3
