Winscp assembly getting timeout

Hi folks,

I had set these setting
sessionOptions.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0,2, 0);
if (session.Opened == false) {
session.Open(sessionOptions);
session.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 3, 0);
}

but still i am hit with this timeout error.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at WinSCP.Session.CheckForTimeout(String additional) at WinSCP.Session.Open(SessionOptions sessionOptions)


from the winscp log below, it seem to get this timeout error after 60sec.

Session.Timeout has to be set before Session.Open. Though I do not think it would help anyway.

In what environment are you running your code? What version of WinSCP? Please attach a complete WinSCP .NET assembly debug log file.

Hi martin,

i am using
product version : 5.15.0
File version : 5.15.1.9407

attached is the winscp log output.
Thanks in advance.

sorry uploaded the wrong timeout output file.

Thanks. Though you did not answer "In what environment are you running your code?"

Hi Martin,
am running on window server 2012 server 64bit on all environments.

OK, but how are you running it?

the .net winscp exe is trigger using windows task scheduler.

Did you try to play with Windows Scheduler task settings? Particularly with the "Security Options".
