Upload is successful, but getting error on check. C#

2021-02-26 14:41

Hi all, I use the WinSCP C# code to upload files to several FTP/SFTP servers each day. I am only having an issue with one server right now, where I get errors that files failed to upload, but when I look on the remote server I see them. It is not all file checks that throw the errors; the majority work fine. It is not the usual permissions issue that is documented on here, as we have had the transferOptions.FilePermissions = null and transferOptions.PreserveTimestamp = false in place for several years now.

If I call the transferResult.Check() for each upload, it will go into the Catch, and I get:

System Error. Code: 2.
The system cannot find the file specified | File or folder 'SomeFile.txt' does not exist.
System Error. Code: 2.
The system cannot find the file specified SessionRemoteException

I tried switching to !transferResult.IsSuccess, but I get the same issue, where it thinks the file failed to upload when it didn't.

I will mention that the remote FTP server was recently changed, either to a new server, or just had the address updated. Would there be any sort of setting on the new server that I could inform them about to alleviate these errors? I really hate to turn off upload validation, but it is causing concern on daily reports when there really is no issue.

Thanks,
Rob

Please post your code and a session log file (Session.SessionLogPath).

Here is the session log. It looks like I am getting an access denied. (I had to mask certain parts of the file for privacy)

      transferResult = PutFile(fi.FileName, isImage, _practiceSettings.remoteImagePath, transferOptions, session);
   }
 
   //check FTP result. if this fails, it goes into the catch below to log for upload error and increment the failed counter
   //transferResult.Check();
 
   if (!transferResult.IsSuccess)
   {
      LogHelper.LogError($"Second upload attempt of file '{fi.FileName}' failed for practice {_practiceSettings.practiceName}. Marking as failed.");
      failCount += 1;
      continue;

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   var logMsg =

         DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString(),
         DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(),

         ex.Message,

}

I can go on the remote FTP server and see that 56343932-52d7-ea11-8104-0050568c65a2.pdf file.

Here is the PutFile method:

private TransferOperationResult PutFile(string fileName, bool isImage, string imagePath, TransferOptions transferOptions, Session session)
{
   var localPath = fileName;
   var remotePath = _practiceSettings.remotePath;
 
   if (isImage)
   {
      localPath = $"{imagePath}{fileName}";
      remotePath = _practiceSettings.remoteImagePath;
   }
 
   return session.PutFiles(localPath, remotePath, false, transferOptions);
}

I may have figured out what is causing the error. It seems like it is when the file already exists on the remote server.

Here is the scenario for one specific file:
2/20: file uploaded successfully
2/27: file upload failed
2/28: file upload failed
3/1: file upload failed

I am not setting the overwrite mode. I see on this page https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_transferoptions that overwriting is the default, which is what I want.

Any suggestions?

I am able to overwrite files on the remote server using the WinSCP UI program with the same login so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the server.

The WinSCP .NET assembly does not prevent you from overwriting the files. It's the server.

Post a session log file from WinSCP GUI, showing, how you override the files there.
