| | Hi, I am hoping that someone out there is able to give me some clues on this one as i am completely stuck! We have an automated process that uses WS ftp scripts to ftp files across from an external client. This works fine on any files less than 20000 bytes, but on any files bigger than this, it gets to 20,000 bytes, hangs for a moment, then stops. There are no errors in the logs, and it completes as if the file was transferred successfully, even though it is missing the extra bytes. Here are the logs from the transfer attempt : {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil MS Shell Dlg;}}{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;\red0\green128\blue0;\red128\green128\blue0;\red255\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue128;\red255\green255\blue255;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs17 \cf2 Finding Host <name removed>.com ... \par\cf2 Connecting to <ip removed> \par\cf2 Connected to <ip removed> in 0.062500 seconds, Waiting for Server Response \par\cf1 Server Welcome: SSH-2.0-GXSSSHD_Comments \par\cf1 Client Version: SSH-2.0-WS_FTP-9.01-2007.02.09 \par\cf2 DSS Signature Verified \par\cf2 Session Keys Created \par\cf2 Ciphers Created \par\cf2 New Client->Server ciphers in place. \par\cf2 New Client->Server ciphers in place. \par\cf2 Completed SSH Key Exchange.

| | Hi Mark, I've had this issue too, and so have others... I've had WS_FTP's sftp client corrupt my files before. I didn't find out until all kinds of problems started happening with those files after the transfer. I started using WinSCP now as a client. For scripting secure transfers, I've been using Cygwin's openssh package (which has sftp) with key authentication. One post on this subject said that if there is the equivalent of a "ctrl-v" ascii character in a binary file, the transfer will halt... I'm not sure if that's true but in any case I don't trust WS_FTP sftp to transfer my files properly anymore. |

| If you have an active service agreement, login to http://www.myipswitch.com and download the latest version of WS_FTP Professional. Other users have corrected this by installing v2007.1
