"general exception" is not something that WinSCP ever throws.

Please attach a full session and debug log files showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the log files, set Session.SessionLogPath and Session.DebugLogPath.

When I call Check(), an Exception with error message "general exception" is found. Check the local drive, some files can be downloaded. May I know what's wrongs of my code. Thanks
