interesting, I am using write-error so try/catch should work. Give some time and ill trying and get this sorted out. Thanks for letting me know.

@ltiwana See if this format works:

try {
    Receive-WinSCPItem -WinSCPSession $Session -RemotePath $DownDirS ... -ErrorAction Stop
} catch [System.Exception] {
    $Error | Out-String
}

Make sure to include the "-ErrorAction Stop" and "[System.Exception]" parts.

im going to close this. I am able to catch errors with Try, Catch. and its been quite a while since the authors last response.
