SOCKS4/PuTTY - Small file upload "Transfer failed."

legume

2005-07-15 22:04:38

I'm using SOCKS4 over PuTTY SSH.

Remote file size of zero (0) after uploading files < 8kb. Files bigger than this appear to transfer.

I have verified file size of 0 on the server with a 'ls -l'.

This appears to be fixed in latest dev build but isn't mentioned in the known issues post.

It's not fixed in the latest dev build. The log just was different... Now I'm not sure if this is a SmartFTP problem.

this bug still exists... its extremely annoying. i've removed the old install & installed the latest build - still a recurring problem. any file under 8kb gets uploaded as zero'd file & subsequentially stops the entire upload. i'm using windows xp, socks5 proxy setup.

FTP: Serv-U 5.1.0.0

Transfering the file "a.txt" with only "1" as content.

Trying with Putty 0.58 (only relevant information) :




    Remote file exist check: 'a.txt'.



    SIZE a.txt



550 /-------/a.txt: No such file.



    Estimated Compression Ratio of '--------a.txt': 900.00% (9 octets/1 octets)

226 Transfer complete.



    95 bytes transferred. (405 octets/s) (234 ms)



    Transfer failed.



    SIZE a.txt



213 0

The tranfer is bad AND the followed LIST command failed!!!

Now, trying the Cygwin SSH tool (OpenSSH_4.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8 05 Jul 2005) :




    Remote file exist check: 'a.txt'.



    SIZE a.txt



550 /------/a.txt: No such file.



    Estimated Compression Ratio of '------a.txt': 900.00% (9 octets/1 octets)



    MODE S



200 MODE S ok.



    PASV



227 Entering Passive Mode (---.---.---.---,15,161)



    Proxy: Resolving host name localhost



    Opening data connection to ---.---.---.--- Port: 4001



    Proxy: Connecting to SOCKS5 proxy server localhost Port: 1081



    STOR a.txt



    Proxy: Connected to proxy server. Sending connection request.



150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for a.txt.



    1 bytes transferred. (4 octets/s) (203 ms)



226 Transfer complete.



    SIZE a.txt



213 1



    MODE Z



200 MODE Z ok.



    PASV



227 Entering Passive Mode (---.---.---.---,15,161)



    Proxy: Resolving host name localhost



    Opening data connection to ---.---.---.--- Port: 4001



    Proxy: Connecting to SOCKS5 proxy server localhost Port: 1081



    LIST -aLT



    Proxy: Connected to proxy server. Sending connection request.



150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.



226 Transfer complete.



    97 bytes transferred. (3,05 Ko/s) (31 ms)



    Transfer successful.

So, I think Putty has problems while handling SOCKS connection (maybe not enough data: 8kB is a common value for a buffer size...).

legume, damnq: Can you give us more information on the SSH server and can you try using other SSH client ?
