2008-04-24 23:54

hi folks

i am pleased with winscp. looks great. works great.
there is a problem though. i have to babysit it.
i have to watch it because it keeps disconnecting.

i have set the setting to reconnect.
yet i must not have everything done correctly as it keeps disconnecting.

does anyone have any clues ? - how do i stop the disconnecting?

Is there any follow-up on this topic? I am using the program today for the first time. I also like it a great deal in many respects (coming from SmartFTP). And I also experience what appear to be similar timeout disconnections. How can we set up the program so that it maintains connections?

Thank you!

What protocol are you using? What is your configuration of keepalives?

sftp

keepalives are whatever the defaults were. I'm logged onto one of my sites, and I've looked at every menu item in the program, but I cannot see how to get back to the setting. I see Preferences, of course, but those are for the program, not the individual connections. If you would be willing to tell me how to get back to my saved sessions properties, I'll be happy to look up the info you've requested.

Thanks,!

Losing connection at FTP sync

2009-02-01 20:58

Hi,
First, thank's for a great software!
Unfortunately I have a similar problem to the ones above, I'm using the newest version.
I made a script I run with winscp.com that contains 12 dirs to sync via FTP.

I always get the following error on different directories:

Error listing directory '/dir/dir2/dir3/dir4/dir5/filename'.
Could not retrieve directory listing

Can't open data connection.
(A)bort, (R)etry, (S)kip: Abort
Comparing...

And it skips to the next item in the script.
Before(on another identically configured server and session) when I got this WinSCP did a reconnection but not now. What can this problem be caused by.

Losing connection at FTP sync

2009-02-04 12:49

Hi again, here's the log file(debug 1, Ithink).
Replaced some company info and config stuff.
If I login "normally" with the saved session I can list files in those dirs where the logs says:

The network path was not found.

Thanks

Re: Losing connection at FTP sync

Hi again, here's the log file(debug 1, Ithink).
Replaced some company info and config stuff.
If I login "normally" with the saved session I can list files in those dirs where the logs says:
"The network path was not found."

It looks like a server-side problem:

> 2009-01-30 08:35:00.981 CWD /prod/Tillv/Bruksanvisn/
< 2009-01-30 08:35:19.887 550 /prod/Tillv/Bruksanvisn: The semaphore timeout period has expired.

On these specific directories, when WinSCP instruct the server to enter the directory, the server fails to do so with the "The semaphore timeout period has expired" error.

The problem recently started for me

2009-09-22 20:32

After using Winscp for over a year with no problem, I also started getting this problem with some servers recently. Not all servers, but it is a consistent problem on some servers.

Can you post a log file? Ideally start a new thread.

Indeed...
Much of "windows-drivin" causes such errors....

Disconnection problem

2010-01-29 13:33

But then why should it work on other ftp softwares and not on winscp? Its so disturbing after every 10-15 seconds you have to click on retry or reconnect. Cant do much at the same time

I change to Filezilla client and now upload very fast and not disconnect. I think that this is a problem with your software.

See you!

Same problem. Same solution. Filezilla saves the day.

Re: winscp disconnects every few seconds and does not reconnect

I have exactly the same problem.
I have been using WinSCP for years and now for about few weeks, it disconnect every 10 seconds forcing to re-enter passwd and so on.
This software is unuable now.

What protocol are you using? What version of WinSCP?

Disconnect anytime

Hi

I use winscp 4.3.7 1679 and it keeps disconnecting SFTP sessions on port 2222 (i only use sftp so don't know about plain ftp).
The problem is 100% not related to the server since filezilla and smartftp don't get disconnected like winscp does.

Unfortunately this flaw makes winscp ununsable since all changes made, when disconnected, are obsolete and have to be pasted into a new session.

Really looking forward to this.

Thanks for ANYONE giving some info here.

I forgot to mention:

No firewall. Lot of other users have this flaw too (but most live with that and don't bother). I could write a hack "if asked for connection -> fill in credentials from saved sessions (which would be PASSWORD)".

Why don't you add such an additonal layer for those who experience that in the code?
I will not hack out of principle and unfortunately i am forced to use filezilla instead.

Hoping for a fix

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile.

Hi

Sorry but i can't take the risk using the debug version with unknown code. maybe you could tell the dev team. because this really is a HUGE issue which to overcome is just 2 simple lines of code. Our team is switching back to filezilla til there is a working version of the once great winscp.

thanks for your time and effort

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.

You keep asking that the log be posted. Where is the log file for winscp?
