Looks like there is something magical about the extension .txt.

So please send me a full log file for uploading the .txt using ascii mode and separate log file for uploading .pay using ascii mode. Thanks.

Can you post (or send me) a complete log file?

I have also experienced this issue. I have upgraded to the latest version (v4.2.3), and it's still an issue. It doesn't matter if I'm using the GUI or the commandline. When I use the GUI, the dialog box sits there for however long the timeout is set for (I've tried the default 15 second and also 30 seconds), then I get the error, but I also see that the file has been transferred. So, to sum it up the file transfer errors out, but the file seems to get transferred correctly - I can download the file back, do a file compare, and see no differences in the two files.

Below is some information from the log:

Hi,

To be sure I have just sent the complete log file for a second time:
Because 6 days ago, I have also sent it - using a different e-mail account
and it might be lost.

Thanks in advance
Jan.

Can you email me a complete log file?

HI,

When I try to upload a file (about 8MB) using SFTP then it hangs
well before the complete part has been transferred.

The WinSCP application shows (Not Responding).

Note that I can transfer the same file without a problem
using cygwin's sftp command.

I have enabled logging (debug2) and pasted the begin and end of the log file (named C:\cts\top\winscp_problem\jvda@rodenbach1.log) here:
