Sorry in Advance, I thought I had answered to this post already.

I tried to play with the timeout settings, but alas it did not work. However, I found a workaround (although I don't like it very much). I installed FileZilla because I had to upload a lot of large files. The initial start of the program told me that FileZilla, in combination with the started service "Application Layer Gateway" (alg.exe), leads to problems with large files. I deactivated the service and tried to upload the large files with WinSCP again. Now, the upload seems to work perfectly.
It seems the problem lies with the Application Layer Gateway itself. I don't want to keep it deactivated forever, but it is a small workaround and maybe you can do something with that information.

Cheers,

OK. Would setting longer timeout resolve the issue?

May I have a test account on your server?


Sorry, but that's not possible (technically).

The FTP-Server I have tried it on runs the GeneFTP 6 Software, maybe there is an open server somewhere that uses it, but it might be possible to get the same problem on any server software if the timeout is very small.

I'm using WinSCP Version 4.1.7 and I have a problem with the FTP-Protocol.
I think I have narrowed the problem down, it should be a bug (sorry if it's not).

Thanks. Can you post a log file?


Hi again.

I fetched a log file. I stripped it from some personal information. As far as I can see, the information necessary should be in there. If it's not enough, tell me again :-)
