Getting "syntax error, unrecognized command" error

2014-09-10 11:56

I have connected to a server using FTP connection using port 21 in WinSCP utility from Windows machine.

When I try to upload a zip file of around 400 MB into the server using ftp connection using drag and drop, then following error is thrown:
"Failed to copy file in remote macine.
Syntax error, command unrecognized."

I tried to search for the solution on various forum, but could not find it.

Any help is appreciated in advance.

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

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. 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 can mark the attachment as private.
