Yes, use option transfer binary.

WinSCP does not log size of transferred file. Even if it did, it would log size of the file anyway. It's possible to calculate number of transferred bytes from size of SSH_FXP_WRITE packets. But you need Debug 1 level log file for that. And it's not a trivial calculation.

Anyway, do you use binary transfer mode?

Unfortunately, I have no control on the version used or the client system, but I have a WinSCP 4.1.7 client connecting to an older WinSSHD server and I'm trying to play the middle man and point a finger.

I've got a 7,859,058 file being transferred and I'm trying to understand the WinSCP log

It looks like the client thinks everything went swimmingly, but on the server side, the server said it successfully received all 7,859,057 bytes. No errors, but obviously something went wrong.

Server Log:
Session channel 1: FlowSfsWin: Closed file 'xxxxxxx.xxx'. Registered 129 successful operations. Uploaded 7859057 bytes in 129 operations.

Using the above log, I'm trying to tell if the client attempted to send 7,859,058 bytes or 7,859,057 bytes. No matter how I mangle the numbers, I can't get the size of SSH_FXP_WRITE to tally up anywhere near 7,859,058-ish bytes.

Again, I have little control over anything, so this is about all I got to work with.

Thanks for the help :-)
