[quote="LinQon"]I've created a PowerShell script that works as expected copying files from a folder with <35K files.  
However, WinSCP aborts after 65 seconds using the same script to copy files from a different folder (with >120K files) on the same SFTP server.

I have tried doubling the timeout to:
[code]TimeoutInMilliseconds = 120000[/code]

The error message I get on failure is:
[code]Exception calling "GetFiles" with "2" argument(s): "Timeout waiting for WinSCP to respond"
At E:\Scripts\MOS_DL.ps1:28 char:5
+     $session.GetFiles($SelectFiles, "E:\ITS_Archives\MOS\*").Check()
+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TimeoutException[/code]

Is there a way to increase the WinSCP timeout when reading a ridiculous number of files in a folder or is something else occurring?

Thanks,
I've changed my $SessionOptions from using TimeoutInMilliseconds to the Timeout command. I must not be using it right as it still aborts after 65 seconds.

I've attached my script, would you be able to help me correct it?

Thanks
