Re:

Thanks all for the logs and help.

I've found myself some another small problem. And as I'm bit paranoic to make fixes to SCP code not to introduce new problem (that's the way our bug was introduced), I would like to ask you for one more (the last) test. Download the version to test. If it works, no need to send logs anymore. Also this time please test download too.

Thanks again.

Re: Yes.. Fix2 stops also after 40-50 MB's with scp

I used fix4 and uploaded a 300meg file no problem, that seems to fix the issue.

fix4 appears to be working for me

I downloaded fix 4, and it seems to be working...... yay! Thank you!

binary transfer with 3.7.3

I was using 3.7.1 without problems, and jumped to 3.7.3, and immediately saw the same problems others did with sending a binary file from my pc to another machine using scp.

Interestingly, the problem doesn't seem to affect receiving a file from the distant system.

I'm using 100MB Full Duplex, talking to a solaris 9 or 10 machine on the other end.

Neither distant machine was a problem with 3.7.1.

Went back to 3.7.1, and all is as it was before.....

Re: Yes.. Fix2 stops also after 40-50 MB's with scp

Thanks goes to Knight for the log.

So here comes yet another attempt to fix this. If it fails again, post a log file (again the low-level one).

Sorry for the hassle, but this bug it really tough one.

Also I'm still curious if you can reproduce this in 3.7.1.

I have tested the fix2 under heavy load with files with different size. The First 20-40 MB run's very well, but after this the Transfer stop's with the Message: Host has not answered for 15 seconds. and the session is broken.
With sftp i have no problems with the same Files.

Thanks. While I have not mentioned it, I wanted the log with low-level logging enabled. As I expect that the log will be very large, please mail it to me zipped.

Also I would like to know if you can reproduce the same problem with older version of WinSCP, particularly 3.7.2 and 3.7.1.

Again, reply from anyone, not only slaukas, is appreciated.

Oops too optmistic,it stops again transferring files..

I tried to transfer a file of 50MB and it halts at eg. 14% 20% 51%..

OK, I believe that this time it is the problem that I've thought was introduced in 3.7.2 already. Can you verify it? In all cases please (you or anyone else) post a log file (from "fix2" version). Thanks again for your cooperation. I appreciate it.

test your new fix2 for 3.7.3 release (SCP Problem)

I have tested your new Fix2 (for the scp transfer Problem with the version 3.7.3) and it's looks ok !!

Without the Fix-release, the error is only with scp not with sftp.

Re: 3.73 issues in binary transfer

to confirm the symptoms of the previous posts
3.7.3 fails everytime,
3.7.2 is fine......

Are you sure that 3.7.2 has worked? So far I've believed that the problem was introduced in 3.7.2 and 3.7.1 was the last one working. If you are right, it changes things :-) Please confirm ASAP.

It happens with the transfer of the files in the foreground and my connection speed is 100Mbps.

Binary transfers using SCP in version 3.7.3

When trying to transfer any file in binary and connected with scp you receive the "Host has not answered for more than 15 seconds" box. Then you click abort and receive
copy files to remote side failed. copying file *filename* fatally failed. Terminated by user.
When connected with sftp it seems to work just fine. I went back and tried version 3.4.2 and that version works no problem. In 3.7.3 I tried transferring files as little as 100kb and as large as 10meg, both small and large files both fail with the errors above. Hope this helps, please let me know if you need any more information.
