SFTP Uploading Zip files

Hello,

I am trying to upload Zip files and other binary files to an SFTP server. Uploading appears to complete, but in actual fact doesn't since the transferred file size on the server is always 0KB. Other file types this happens with are RAR, XLS, PDF. This doesn't happen with TXT, XML etc. I set the transfer mode to Binary but this didn't make any difference.

Please advise,

thank you.

Did you refresh the folder after your uploads completed?

What do you see in the transfer queue window? Menu: View->Other Windows->Transfer Queue

Is there any chance we can get a test account for 24h on this server?

Hi Mat,

I have refreshed the remote folder many several times, as well as verifying the 0KB file size on a seperate SSH terminal (VMS Server).

Unfortunately, I can't provide access to it, as it is through a VPN.

As for the Transfer Queue, the status field changes from:

connecting -> pre-transfer -> (0 bytes / X MB) 0%

After that the the item gets removed from the queue.

I have uploaded to this server using other clients that support SFTP and I have had no similar issue.

Can you try it again with the latest version of SmartFTP:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

Please also try to get the log from the trasnfer queue. To do this:
1. Stop the transfer queue
2. Do the drag&drop operation
3. Double click the file in the transfer queue
4. Start the transfer queue

If the problem persists we need a test account on the server to look at it.

Regards,
Mat

I tried again with the latest version and now it's working everytime.

Many thanks!
