host hasn't answered for more than 15 seconds, still waiting

Hello,

I have a strange problem, tried to solve it in several days and now writing...

I can connect to the server with SSH protocol using putty directly, all is working fine.

When I try to connect with WinSCP (just downloaded the latest version) then during Authenticating it says: "host hasn't answered for more than 15 seconds, still waiting"

I have WinXPPRO

Maybe somebody has experienced this problem already?

TIA

Please post a log file.

Here is a log file. Like it was written in FAQ I tried to use both SFTP and SCP mode - result is the same.

I have never seen similar problem before. Have you tried any other SCP/SFTP client? Can I have test account on your server?
