SFTP Status/Error Codes

SFTP status/error codes are a numerical codes that an SFTP server1 uses to indicate a result of a client request (i.e. a request sent by WinSCP to the server).

WinSCP translates the numerical codes to a textual description for you, so you do not have to remember them.

The SFTP server should also provide a meaningful textual description of the error itself. WinSCP includes the server-side description in its error message, labeled “Error message from server”. Such description can include more detailed information than WinSCP can possibly deduce from the numerical code.
