I did some tests and I do not see a different between WinSCP and FileZilla is this respect. But maybe I'm missing something or there's something specific about your set up. Please get me the logs. Also as you claim that FileZilla "used to do it but doesn't anymore", do you know in what version approximately the behaviour changed?

I'll try and get some log files to you, however I'm afraid it is a soft bug as WinSCP is the only client now that does this, filezilla used to do it but doesn't anymore. To use up the entire data channel range is unacceptable for a ftp application, especially if you are transferring hundreds of small files (e.g. EDI transmissions)

All 500 ports in the data channel range sit on TIME_WAIT before dropping which I know is normal, what is not normal is WinSCP consuming all 500 ports on the data channel.

File zilla and ffftp only consume 3 to 5. Can you explain that?

Sorry not meaning to sound sarcy. :)

Re: BUG - FTPS Port flooding - Consuming all dataports on server

Well, with passive mode, it's the server that suggests port to use. So it's not WinSCP choice whether to reuse the port or not. Also I do not think FileZilla reuses the port either. Can you attach a complete log file showing the problem, both using WinSCP and FileZilla (latest versions for both)?

Some additional Info:

Winscp client on server 2003 R2 connecting to 2008R2 server on FTPS Implict Passive connection

WinSCP version 5.5.4 build 4433

Using Via Gui

Error message from Winscp is Timeout, but on server you camn view all the datachannel ports getting maxed out.

Are you using passive or active mode?

BUG - FTPS Port flooding - Consuming all dataports on server

Hi,

Whilst doing a directory sync or transferring a large volume of iles, I noticed constant disconnects.

After checking the server with a 3rd party support team, we have discovered that the servers ftp data channel range (500 ports) is getting totally consumed by the winscp connection!

I tried using filezilla and it dos not have the same problem.

It appears winscp is not reusing its data session and instead is dropping and recreating a new data channel connection for each file!

I can't
