WinSCP keeps on disconnecting when transferring large files (over 500KB)

I run WinSCP under Ubuntu 18.04 + Wine.

Everything works smoothly on SFTP, and FTP without TLS, but when it comes to FTPS, for some reason WinSCP disconnects on transferring files larger than approximately 500KB. After that, it offers to reconnect and transfers another 500KB. So for transferring a file of 3MB, I have to click "Reconnect" 6 times, which makes working with website quite difficult.

WinSCP log:

I tried transfer the same files with the same FTPS connection under FileZilla, it works perfectly. Because I'm running Ubuntu under VirtualBox, I had ability to check this issue outside Ubuntu (Windows 10), no problems are found.

Could anybody advise me something on my issue?

I checked Ubuntu firewalls, but ufw is disabled and iptables has no rules at all. Also, as I said, it works perfectly smoothly in FileZilla, so I'm sure it has something to do with WinSCP.

Or maybe with Wine, but I checked everything I could on this topic regarding Wine, and discovered only the fact that Wine never uses additional firewall, so everything that is getting blocked under Wine is blocked by superior OS, not by Wine environment.

Bump.

It'd be awesome to get at least a clue...

As long as I use automated script for deployment, I really need a viable solution for this, becuase for now the only solution is to run FTP under my system without TLS, which breaks all the security...

P. S.

I can't afford SSH/SFTP as well due to my server limitations.

Can you try (just for a test) decrease TLS version to 1.1 in WinSCP configuration?

Just tried, getting all the same.

I also have noticed that script generation function doesn't work properly under Wine. It misses function names.

So, instead of showing "open ftpes://xxx", it shows " ftpes://", the same for "put *" => " *", "lcd <dir>" => " <dir>" etc.

The same for Batch, PowerShell, .NET Assembly code.

I guess that there's some internal error that WinSCP doesn't show in logs.

Can you do a packet capture (e.g. using Wireshark)?

Please report the code generation problem to Wine.
