I am trying to use soscmd but am getting an error message. Here is my command and error message.

soscmd -soshome C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS -command GetFile -server server1:8081 -user user1 -password qwerty -database f:\vss\srcsafe.ini -project $/Host/Source -file test.txt -workdir C:\Test

Erros Message: Unable to open key file: C:\Doucments\server1.key

Thanks.

This error indicates you are connecting to the secure port (8081), but SOS cannot find the server key file.

The <Servername>.key file is created when you import a user key into your SOS Client so that you can connect securely to the SOS Server.

User keys are created in the SOS Server Manager. Did you get a user key (<username>.iky) from your SOS admin?

For details about encryption, see SOS Help->Server Manager->User Keys and in the Index->Import Encryption Key.

Yes, there is a <server>.key file in the folder that I pointed the soshome to.

Can you connect to the SOS Server with the SOS GUI Client, using the same server name or IP that you used with the Command Line Client?

Yes, I can connect using the SOS GUI Client, using the same server name and database as I used in the soscmd.

I was recently able to use the soscmd until I installed .NET 2003 on my computer. Does that affect soscmd in any way? I tried uninstalling .NET and reinstalling SOS but it still doesn't work.

No, .NET shouldn't affect it. Did this exact command work before?

Is this the exact error message (except for the servername)?

Unable to open key file: C:\Doucments\server1.key

I would think it would be looking in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS for the key file.

I just figured it out. I need to put quotes around the path name of the soshome.

Thanks for you help

Of course -- there are spaces in the path. Well, I would have been more helpful if I had remembered that.

Glad it's working!
