Hello prikryl!

I am facing a similar issue with 4.8.3 and 5.0 version.
Would like to have the debug version.

Thanks.

Just to say the 5.2.0 debug version seems to have resolved the drag n drop problem. Thanks very much Martin!

Thank you. I will let you know whether the problem still exists in the debug version you sent me.

WinSCP v5.1 on Windows 7 x64 Enterpise (SP1)

Generally downloading to a mapped (Windows 2008 server) drive.
Remote server is CentOS release 5.5

Session protocol = SSH-2

Are there any particular troubleshooting steps I should take?

Hi!
I have that exactly same problem with my "new" win 7(x64) computer at work

I just installed winscp (coz' i love it) and no problem for "uploads", but today, just for 1 file download (in a local directory) it freezes and i can't download that file :(

Do you have a solution. I'm StephDotNet on twitter (i'll tweet it to you too ^^).

Thanks!

Tried logging in numerous times, tried resetting password, even tried creating a new account 3 or 4 times.... having no success.... can you send a password change to whatever email i have on the account - hopefully i will see it (it is acting like my account doesnt match my email - which makes no sense at this point)

In the opposite direction (from my 'local' shared server to the remote server) I can drag and drop without issue. My logging setting is set to "No log".

Thanks. I'll check the dumpes you have emailed me in few days.

OK, have tried with the new debug version, and I have a bit more detail (and it's a bit more bizarre).
Debug version is 5.0.6 build 2081, comparing to 5.0.6 beta (bld 2074).

The problem reproduces when WinSCP runs on Win-7 x64 as well as 32-bit (failure rate is over 50%, but not 100%).
The problem does not occur when WinSCP runs on XP.

The problem happens when the destination share is on a windows server system, and it also happens when the share is attached to a Windows-7 (32-bit) desktop.
It does not happen when the share is attached to an XP(pro) desktop.

In all cases I am using windows AD accounts for access authentication - there is no "simplified file sharing" stuff.

Now, because of the security problem with writing the log file to the root dir of C:, I had started by specifying a destination folder in the environment, as specified in the debugging notes. This did not ever hang.
If I did not specify a WINSCPTRACE value, then it would hang, but of course it could not write a log file, because the program was attempting to write it to C:\Winscpnnntrace.log

When I ran WinSCP as administrator, it did not recognise any shared drives, until I discovered the EnableLinkedConnections registry setting.
When I finally managed to run as administrator, it did not hang.

After subsequently running ProcExplorer with elevated privs, the debug version of WinSCP did not hang (over 10 files).

Conclusion: if it can write a debug log file then it will not hang.

Then I had a great idea - point the log file to a shared drive, and run as a normal user. Finally, a log file following a hang? no. If I make a spelling mistake, and the log file folder does not exist, then it will hang. Otherwise it will upload without problem.

I have sent you another email.

Another update: 5.0.6 beta locked on two files out of two.

The diagnostic version, in between those tests, uploaded 6 files without problem.

Incidentally, when I kill it with task manager, the process remains in the "processes" list.
I started using process explorer to get more info, but it then shutdown (4 minutes had expired?). Is there anything useful that process explorer could tell you (I don't use it very often), or does the difference between the beta and the diagnostic version tell you enough?

Thanks for that.
I have used the debug version, at various times today, and uploaded 48 different files without a single problem.

I thought - maybe the problem has gone away, but on rerunning 4.3.7 it locked up immediately on the first file I tried.

I will try 5.0.6 beta.

Followup - just as I was downloading 5.0.6, the 4 minutes expired, and the download started.
I hit the big red X to shut the program down and got the warning dialogue about "background transfer in progress". I tried to select "cancel" but it had locked up again just then.
From previous experiments it has never locked up partway through a transfer, only ever at startup.
and 4 minutes later it came to life and completed the transfer.

Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to address you have used to register on this forum.

This is a problem that has annoyed me for quite a while, but I have not been able to reproduce the conditions reliably.
WinSCP: various versions from 3.something up to 4.3.7 downloaded today.
Client OS: win7 X64 enterprise.
server: CentOS running openssh-4.3p2-72.el5.7.5 plus several previous versions.
Connection mode: sftp-3

Today I connected to home, downloaded a file or two, then tried to upload a .psd file (700kB) via drag-and-drop using the commander interface. WinSCP froze (unresponsive to mouse clicks, connection time in status bar was frozen, etc) and then suddenly it went through the file upload process and back to normal. At that stage the timer started again at a value that was about 4 and a half minutes after it froze. It did not restart the timer until after the upload had finished (nor draw anything else in the status line during the upload).

I then enabled logging, and started another upload and it froze as well. I also had the log window enabled and it also froze after showing a bunch of "session upkeep" lines. I think I had debug-1 level enabled.

Meantime I started another instance in WinSCP and connected to a different server running the same software and successfully uploaded about 10 different files (one at a time) - different sizes, text, binary, any variable I could think of. It never froze.
After something like 15 minutes I killed the original WinSCP program. The log file was zero length.
I compared the session settings - the only difference I could see between them was that I had compression ticked on the one that froze, but not on the other. So I tried with compression off, and it uploaded several files, but froze again on about the 3rd or 4th file from my home server.

A snippet of the log file shows


Note there is a 4 minute gap where nothing happens, then it proceeds (I guess) normally.

There is one other factor that I have observed, which may or may not be relevant.
Whenever I have noticed it lock up, the destination folder has been a mapped drive on a network share. Some sort of large ms-Windows file-server system. I tried a series of uploads from home to a local partition and it did about 10 files without a problem.
I switched to the ssh server that had not given any problems (uncompressed mode) and started uploading to a share on the file-server. It froze on the second file. And again the interval was close to 4 minutes.
