WinSCP requires english environment for SCP protocol.

I'm confused. If it were not OpenSSH I would suppose some incompatibility. But as it is OpenSSH...

I can see that WinSCP attempts to create new file, which fails. Only difference to PSCP and PSFTP is that WinSCP is using SSH_FXF_EXCL flag which should make the attempt fail if the file does exists. However as it does not exists it should not make any difference. And again it is OpenSSH, and WinSCP is well tested with it.

Anyway please turn off overwrite confirmation in Preferences and try again. With overwrite confirmation off, WinSCP will not use the SSH_FXF_EXCL flag.

BTW: Is this happening only to you or even to other users on the same machine? If it is happening to others as well, can I have a test account on the server?

by the way,
pscp works for me regardless if the file exists or not.

and the other thing briefly mentioned above: winscp won't
list the directory if I set the protocol to SCP only.
here's a part from the log:

. Listing current directory.

"insgesamt 1252" is simply german for "total 1252" -

I've tried with 3.6.1 for the first time, but went now and tried 3.5.6 and 2.3.0:
2.3.0: I can't even get a directory listing:
Unexpected directory listing line "insgesamt 1248".
Invalid rights description "nsgesamt "
the same happens if I try later versions with SCP protocol only, so I guess
this server only wants SFTP (which 2.3.0 doesn't seem to have yet)
3.5.6: exact same behaviour as later versions, listing, downloading works,
upload gives the general failure.

============================

And here is testing with SFTP protocol logging enabled on 3.6.8 -
my comments are prepended with "-->":
