| + | This error indicates that ''[[executables|winscp.exe]]'' did not receieve an answer from ''[[executables|winscp.com]]'' in time. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Most commonly this happens when ''winscp.com'' has redirected output to a stream with limited buffer. If the stream is not being read from, the buffer gets eventually filled and ''winscp.com'' hangs, when trying to write into it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In turn the above most commonly happens when ''winscp.com'' is run from another program (such as .Net code), which redirect its output into stream. If the program then e.g. waits for ''winscp.com'' to finish without reading from the stream, the ''winscp.com'' eventually hangs, never finishing. | ||
