(ESshFatal) Out of memory. All channels closed

2020-03-16 07:23

Hello!
We use automatic file transfer to a remote SFTP server using WinSCP 5.17.2 and a bat file.
Transfer occurs at night and large files (from 200 megabytes to 25 gigabytes).

Often we see error Out of memory and session closure:

Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

I spent a while testing this, I realised there was nothing wrong with the servers as I can connect with PuTTY ok.
I believe it's a problem with WinSCP. Once I downloaded and installed WinSCP 5.17.10 the problem disappeared.
