undeletable filepart files
I have WinSCP set up to connect to a windows server running OpenSSH on cygwin as a service. It was working perfectly before, running an auto backup script as a scheduled task, and synchronizing files.
Lately, I've noticed it's been having troubles transferring certain files, stalling out or timing out, and then leaving the .filepart files there (as would be expected for resume-ability)
However, what's strange about these is that I cannot remove them on the server, I always get permission denied, file in use errors, but the process using them should be long finished or timed out. In cygwin, I can list the file permissions, and I get strange results:
I've never seen permissions with question marks before.. that's pretty weird. Here's the log from WinSCP:
I've got a hunch that this might've started due to putting my laptop into sleep while the backup script was running, or perhaps it's due to a hidden resume dialog that the script automatically answers no to?
Also, those filepart files with the "?" permissions (I assume that's what cygwin must report when they're in use), they go back to normal after power cycling the windows server. This is a somewhat non-clean failure though, since it leaves the files locked until a reboot.
Any ideas on how to fix this, or prevent it from happening?
