Console mode never terminates

Martin,

I am calling Winscp from a Windows batch file. I am using 5.2.5 BETA
The batch file is run as a scheduled task every 24 hours.
The WinSCP command file synchronizes the proper directories but disconnects before completing the last directory sync.

If I look in taskmgr after a few days there are N number of WinSCP.com processes running where N is the number of days since I last checked it.

I believe this is happening because I am losing connection during the backup and the process just keeps retrying.
For each run there are MASSIVE log files of 33GB +/- and they are not easily debugged because of the sheer size.
The disconnect seems to happen only when running the largest sync in the batch job.

How can I get the process to stop or restart.

Below are the Simple Batch file and WinSCP Script I am using

Thanks
Gene

Can you send me a sample log? Or at least its end, if it's too big.

Martin,

I used the ftp site you gave me in the past to send entire log. The log I sent is a good representation as to what happens almost every time I run this job.
I think it might possibly have something to do with the number of files being transferred or a file size constraint.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Gene

Thanks for the log. Can you use the debug version you have and send me a trace file?

Martin Can you send me the debug version again.
I deleted it when I thought we had this working correctly

Gene

Sent.
