WinSCP times out at reading remote Directory

Hello Community,

I need to connect via WinSCP from my Windows Computer at home to a Computer at a University. I am using the Uni VPN to connect to the local network. WinSCP worked fine until suddenly it started to always timeout while reading the remote directory. The authentification works so i think that up to that point the connection works fine. Help would be really appreciated.

I used to use a SFTP connection.

Best Regards

Can you connect and retrieve the directory contents using any other SFTP client?

Hello,
i have the same problem when using another client. I can get a working connection with Putty tough.
An exception for WinSCP in my Firewall settings is granted.
Thanky you and best regards

PuTTY is not an SFTP client. If no SFTP client work, it's a server-side problem.
