[quote="cgansen"]Hi -

I've run into some trouble with WinSCP recently. It's been running fine for the past few months; however, recently it has been hanging after login. No GUI displays, and the process rockets up to 80-90% CPU utilization, and I must end the process via Task Manager. I can't think of any changes that I may have made that would impact WinSCP. Recently I have installed both Apache and SmartFTP, but I doubt that would kill WinSCP.

Here's a sample connection log. I've removed some indentifying material (user names, servers). Any advice?

Please refer to documentation.

I had the same problem.

Ended up uninstalling and re-installing twice. The first time I kept my configuration set-ups when asked. No luck. Still crashing out after login.

Second time I removed everything including all my configs and now I can get back in again.

The obvious drawback is you lose all your site settings but at least I have WinSCP working again and I can enter my settings in on a site-by-site basis as needed.

Cheers,
Andy

Addendum: I can connect successfully using the "Explorer" interface. This leads me to believe that something may be amiss with my startup directory (My Documents). Anything in particular that I should look for that may be causing the hangup?

Thanks much,

WinSCP Hangs on every login - App "Not responding"
