Please start a new thread and attach a full session and debug log files (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Same answer, please see above.

I'm using ExamDiff myself and I'm not having the problem.

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

Hi All,
I'm running winscp verion (4.3.2 build 1201), and examdiff 5.5 (5.5.1.0 32 bit version) - both were downloaded today incase the issue was resolved.

I've setup winscp to use a custom command to do a file compare using examdiff, however after I do a quick file compare and I close examdiff, the window
0% Executing Custom Command
remains on screen for upto 2 mins afterwards (though generally it is between 20s-60s). It looks like that it is the file transfer window; however the transfer must be complete because the contents are copied locally and are complete in examdiff. I'm not sure if examdiff is closing with a funny exit code (that winscp doens't detect) or what the underlying cause may be.

The custom command that I've setup in winscp is:
"C:\Program Files\ExamDiff Pro\ExamDiff.exe" "!^!" "!"

To help trouble shoot, you can get a trial version of examdiff, the site is: https://www.prestosoft.com/. I like it, it does a very nice job of code comparisons, and partial file copying.

Any help would be appreciated on this; if there is a tag I'm able to add after the custom command to not force it to wait until examdiff is done, (like & to execute in the background) that would be fine also, I just hadn't seen any in my looking yet.

I am connecting to the servers with sftp with scp fallback, using a server key if it helps.

Thanks very much,

David
