Re: Error message from server: The message file is not extractable!

The PreserveTimeDirs is about directories (and it's off by default anyway). For files, you would have to use PreserveTime=0.

Re: Error message from server: The message file is not extractable!

I run it with -nopreservetime -nopermissions options and it looks much better.
But I am wondering why rawsettings didn't work.

I will wait for few transfers to confirm this solution.
Thank you very much for helping me :D

Re: Error message from server: The message file is not extractable!

It's some proprietary feature/message of the SFTP server. I've never seen it before, and I'm not sure what it means.
Please post logs of behavior with "turned off setting permissions or preserving timestamp".

Error message from server: The message file is not extractable!

Hi,

Since three months I have a problem with transferring file into SSH server of our partner.
When we try to put files automatically I got error code 2 and message:
Error message from server: The message file is not extractable!

Both turn off setting permissions or preserving timestamp doesn't work. File is transferred correctly but because of returned error the file is not deleted in original location.
The same happens on GUI and command line.
So my question is if this is a problem with SFTP server or WinSCP application? The SFTP server is out of my organization so I can't manage it.

Best regards
