Keep getting Cannot overwrite remote file

I have a vb.net program that I wrote to upload Student Photos that have been added in the last 14 days to a remote site, It keeps crashing with:
Cannot overwrite remote file <name> of file.
And I'm trying to find a work around.

code: 
Dim mySessionOptions As New WinSCP.SessionOptions
    Dim PicCount As Integer = 0
    Static start_time As DateTime
    Static stop_time As DateTime
    Dim elapsed_time As TimeSpan
    Dim TOinterval As New TimeSpan(0, 30, 0)
    Dim transferResult As TransferOperationResult
    Dim MyTransferOptions As New TransferOptions
 
    start_time = Now
    mySession.DisableVersionCheck = False
    With mySessionOptions
        .Protocol = Protocol.Sftp
        .PortNumber = 22
        .HostName = "<site name>"
        .PrivateKeyPassphrase = classified
        .UserName = "cofc"
        .SshHostKeyFingerprint = <key>
        .SshPrivateKeyPath = "\\aiken\ProdCognos\ITExtracts\SSHKEY\myKey.ppk"
        .PrivateKeyPassphrase = <Phrase>
        .Timeout = New TimeSpan(0, 4, 30)
        .AddRawSettings("ConsiderDST", "0")
    End With
 
    'Connect
    mySession.Open(mySessionOptions)
 
    'Upload files        
    With MyTransferOptions
        .TransferMode = TransferMode.Automatic
        .FileMask = "*>=14D"  'Transfer only files changed in the last 14 days
        .ResumeSupport.State = TransferResumeSupportState.Smart
        .PreserveTimestamp = False
        .OverwriteMode = OverwriteMode.Resume
    End With
 
    transferResult = mySession.PutFiles("\\aiken\IDPhotos\*.jpg", "/studentpics/", False, MyTransferOptions)
 
    'Throw on any error
    Try
        transferResult.Check()
    Catch ex As System.IO.IOException
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
    End Try
 
    Dim transfer As TransferEventArgs
    For Each transfer In transferResult.Transfers
        Console.WriteLine("Upload of {0} succeeded" & vbCrLf, transfer.FileName)
        PicCount = PicCount + 1
    Next
 
    stop_time = Now
    elapsed_time = stop_time.Subtract(start_time)
 
    sMsg = sMsg & "A total of " & PicCount & " images  have been uploaded." & vbCrLf
    sMsg = sMsg & "Total elapsed time " & elapsed_time.TotalMinutes.ToString("0.000000") & " minutes."

Re: Keep getting Cannot overwrite remote file

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

To generate the session log file, set Session.SessionLogPath. 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.

Re: Keep getting Cannot overwrite remote file

Either the path is wrong – Shouldn't it be something like /home/username/studentpics/, rather than just /studentpics/?
Or you do not have permissions to write to that folder.
Are you able to upload the files anyhow? Using WinSCP GUI? Using any other way?

Re: Keep getting Cannot overwrite remote file

The Error only happens with certain images...otherwise it works fine.
Is there some setting I need to set that I'm missing?

Yes I can upload with the GUI.

Basically I need to update images on the remote site that have changed or are new in the last X Days.

Re: Keep getting Cannot overwrite remote file

Can you post a log that shows a successful upload of some image and a failed upload of another image, all other things being equal?

And/or log of a successful upload of an image in GUI and a log of failed upload of the same image in code?
