Host is not communicating for more than 15 seconds. Still waiting...
I am getting this error on my Windows 10 (64bit) machine for every SFTP and SCP connection. I can connect but file transfers are very very slow and after some time of doing nothing I get this error message and I have to reconnect. The time can vary from only 3 seconds to up to two minute or so. So it often happens that I open a file, edit it and when saving I get the error. Then I have to close the file, reconnect to the server, open it again and save the file immediately.
It only happens on this machine. With other Windows 7 PCs it works. Also I can use Filezilla without problems. I tried using older WinSCP versions (down to 5.1.X) but it still happens on those old versions. Currently I have installed the version 5.7.7. The error message recommends turning off the option "Optimize connection buffer size". But it doesn't help. No change whatsoever. This makes WinSCP almost unusable...
Following a Debug Log Level 2 from the moment I tried to refresh the view after some time of doing nothing:
