Sure. But I need to know what particular file had the problem for that specific run (as recorded in the log).

It varies per log. It could be any file at any given time. It just varies and seems to have a mind of it's own...

Thank you for getting back to me. Please see the attached log file. I noticed this happens through the GUI as well when using the explorer. I added some speed restrictions and tried other criteria restrictions to see if it helped. None of the steps seem to help so far.

Re: SFTP Sync Inbound - not bringing data over instead creating 0kb files

2015-10-02

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

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 can mark the attachment as private.

SFTP Sync Inbound - not bringing data over instead creating 0kb files

2015-10-01 16:26

Hi,
I am working on SFTP scripts that is supposed to sync files for both inbound and outbound. The inbound sync runs to success. But it fails to sync all files properly. It does not miss the file entirely, but instead creates an empty file of the original file. There is no data in these files on the local machine after the sync from the server. The same files on the server are not empty.

Example after sync is completed:
Server File Server - File Size - Local Machine File - Local Machine File Size
1. File A - 34kb - File A - 0kb
2. File B - 64kb - File B - 0kb
3. File C - 26kb - File C - 26kb

Commands used:

# Automatically abort script on errors
option batch abort
# Disable overwrite confirmations that conflict with the previous
option confirm off
# Connect
open XXX@YYYZZZ.EXAMPLE.COM

exit

I cannot afford to miss out these files...

Please review and help. Thank you,
