Re: Speed switch not working

-speed switch is argument to some of the script commands (such as put/get). It is not WinSCP command line parameter.

Speed switch not working

WinSCP Version 4.2.7 Build 758
New install, never used an older version
Windows SBS 2003 SP 2
Site I'm connecting to: storage.datastorageunit.com

I ran into the "Host is not communicating for more than 15 seconds. Still waiting... Warning: Aborting this operation will close connection!" issue several times today. I contacted the admin of the remote box and he stated that this could be because my ISP was throttling the upload. He suggested that I try to limit the transfer rate. In the script line below I inserted -speed=25 as per the documentation however it has not had an effect on the speed limit. Is the switch in the wrong place? I've experimented with placing it at the end and beginning. Thank you! 

"C:\program files\winscp\winscp.exe" /console -speed=25 /log=e:\bin\scripts\backup\log\%todaydate%.%todaytime%.FEI.Backup.log /script=e:\bin\scripts\backup\local2remote.txt
