You have to set the Session.Timeout:

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

Very Large folder getting Timeout waiting for WinSCP to respond

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: 
TimeoutInMilliseconds = 120000


The error message I get on failure is: 
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


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