Re: Server unexpectedly closed network connection

It's quite likely the server got upgraded and is not compatible anymore with the 6 years old version of WinSCP you are using. Please try to to upgrade.

Server unexpectedly closed network connection

I have a script that opens this WinSCP connection and uploads a file to vendor. This has been working without issues for years. For what ever reason it has stopped working in April. Below is the error log I'm getting when I try to connect. Can anyone tell me if this is on vendor side or my server?
