Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

I do not see what WinSCP should be doing differently.
Wouldn't it help to change the default region?

It is not possible to select the af-south-1 region from within the current version of WinSCP.

There is also no provision to select the new Milan Italy region eu-south-1 in the current version of WinSCP.
