Error msg

I have issue with the last file. Error msg below received:
General failure (server should provide error description).
Error code: 4
Error message from server: Failure

Common reasons for the Error code 4 are:
- Renaming a file to a name of already existing file.
- Creating a directory that already exists.
- Moving a remote file to a different filesystem (HDD).
- Uploading a file to a full filesystem (HDD).
- Exceeding a user disk quota.
What could be the next step for me to resolve the issue?

Re: Error msg

So did you check if your disk/quota is full?
Isn't the SG.txt file larger than the others? So that it is possibly the only one that triggers "Transfer to Temporary Filename"?

If you need further help, please attach a full session log file showing both successful upload of some other file from/to the same directory and failed upload of the SG.txt (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.
