Re: 14,978 KB size limit?

Please attach a full log file showing the problem.

To generate log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

SOLVED

I found that compressing and tarring the file at the remote location first, will overcome this issue (Even though the compressed & tarred file is still larger than 14,978 KB). It isn't apparent why this is so, but at this point I don't care because it now works for me.

also..

By the way, it woks fine via the GUI. However, I can't use the GUI approach because I need to start this before I leave at night to start the download at 4AM so it's done when I arrive to work. So the GUI is not an option for me even though it works.

14,978 KB size limit?

Hello.

I am using the JavaScript code provided as an example, (https://winscp.net/eng/docs/script_download_most_recent_file) and it works PERFECT for downloading files that are a few MB's. But when I try to download a file of a larger size, say 1 GB, it stops automatically at exactly 14.978 MB. It does this for any large file, stops exactly at 14,978 KB. By the way this is for downloading analysis (computational fluid dynamics) files I am running on a remote server. I am hoping there is a simple fix for this because it seems perfect for my needs.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Regards,
Scott R.
