I renamed my .bat to .cmd and it has not jammed since then. (Running for more than 6 weeks!)

I think the problem is that it's too fast, it would need to wait a fiew seconds after a change is detected and then do the upload. The changing of the delay seems to be undocumented but existing? According to the History for 3.8 beta:
Synchronization enhanced: Synchronization delay for function Keep Remote Directory Up To Date is configurable (only directly in configuration files).


You can change the delay in registry: 
REGEDIT4



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Interface]

"KeepUpToDateChangeDelay"=dword:000001f4

Too fast update with keepuptodate

Hi!

First of all I would like to thank the author, winscp is just awesome!

I'm running version 3.8.1 and is using the keepuptodate feature from a script to upload files from a directory that is updated every minute. It however jams a couple of times a week.

I run it from sync.bat: 
@echo off

: START

"C:\Program Files\WinSCP3\WinSCP3.com" /script=uploaderscript.txt

GOTO START


using uploaderscript.txt: 
# Automatically answer all prompts negatively not to stall the script on errors

option batch on



# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous

option confirm off



# Connect

open [email protected]



# Force binary mode transfer

option transfer binary



# Keep remote directory updated

keepuptodate D:\Sync\Datafiles /home/user/data



# Disconnect

close



# Exit WinSCP

exit
