I am using WinSCP for file transfer to a remote instance.

C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP>WinSCP.com sftp://root@<some IP>/ /log="C:
\winscp.log"

put D:\backup\hello.txt ./test1/

It is logging in perfectly and also the file is transferring, but it is not generating any log for that on the local path I have specified. How to resolve the problem?

If there's any problem with logging, WinSCP would issue an error message on its output. It would help if you show us the output.

Anyway, I guess the problem is that one generally does not have a write access to C:\ root folder. Of course, unless you run WinSCP as an administrator.

    Well, that's for a different question. Or actually, it's answered already: [How to run an app as “run as administrator” from command prompt?](http://stackoverflow.com/q/8249705/850848) – Martin Prikryl Dec 16 '14 at 06:50
