I do not know. It makes no sense. Can you post the log files for both text and binary mode?

Hi Martin,

I found the issue which is the transfer mode Text(ASCII) and Binary. Originally WinSCP transfer mode was set to binary which caused the truncation in the files, but after I change to text the files are able to transfer complete. May I know why is the binary file failed? All of my files are text files.

See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_pref_logging

I did some research and found that during the transfer some of the files are not complete.

I also notice the file size is capped at 34kb. Any files larger than 34kb will be truncated. I also attached the screenshot of the transfer session. Hope this information helps.

Hi Martin,
May I know how do get a complete session log file on Debug 1 level?

And no, I don't think I am able to use different SFTP clients as this is used by the company.

Please post a complete session log file on Debug 1 level.
Can you download a complete file using any other SFTP client?

Hi WinSCP support,

We run SFTP GET script to download file using WinSCP and found that the downloaded file is being truncated. See the logs below, the file size in remote folder shown as 188257 bytes, however the downloaded file size is only 34000 bytes and the content is truncated. Not sure whether is it configuration or connection issue. Kindly advise how to fix this issue.
