Network Error: Software caused connection abort

Windows System: Windows 10
WinSCP: 5.13
Transfer Protocol: SFTP
I just recently started getting this error after using WinSCP for several weeks, and am not sure what the cause is.
I first noticed that every time I would edit a file on the server I was logged into and click save, it would go to the upload queue and then stay there at 0% with nothing happening. So next I tried to edit the file on my own computer and then drag and drop it in order to upload, and was immediately disconnected and given the error message: "Network error: Software caused connection abort" (picture attached). I would try to reconnect but would similarly fail. Instead of dragging and dropping the file, I tried right click->upload, and received the same error message.
I made sure that the WinSCP app was given access through the firewall via Windows Defender, and it is.
I followed the instructions on the "help" link here https://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_software_caused_connection_abort
that was displayed, and turned off the "optimize connection buffer size", but it did not work either.
I've attached my log file.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Network Error: Software caused connection abort

Thanks for your report.
Are you able to upload any file using WinSCP?
Did you try any other SFTP client?
