debug SFTP connection

Martin, can you debug my SFTP connection to the host? I need to show them something for THEM to fix because they blame me on the problem. I'm getting intermittent errors, which sometimes blocks connection or transfer. I use a key file + passphrase to authenticate.

My IDE shows "Error: read ECONNRESET" and FileZilla sometimes shows the same.

Got a few questions from the log file:
1) What is a "Detected network event"? Is this normal or does it indicate something abnormal happened?
2) Is it normal to have a massive amount of "Session upkeep" entries, like 2 per second?
. 2026-09-16 16:59:40.051 Session upkeep
. 2026-09-16 16:59:40.554 Session upkeep
. 2026-09-16 16:59:41.056 Session upkeep
. 2026-09-16 16:59:41.557 Session upkeep
. 2026-09-16 16:59:42.055 Session upkeep
. 2026-09-16 16:59:42.560 Session upkeep
3) Is this a typical thing, is it a possible issue in my case?
We believe the server has signed timestamps bug
We will use UTF-8 strings until server sends an invalid UTF-8 string as with SFTP version 3 and older UTF-8 strings are not mandatory

Also, a potential bug:
I do use a passphrase but the log file says: "User name: myusername (Password: No, Key file: Yes, Passphrase: No)"

log attached

Re: debug SFTP connection

All of that is normal with Debug-level log file.
The server-side bugs are also normal with OpenSSH server. They are not related to your problem.
I do not see anything unusual in the log. Sorry.
And there's no "ECONNRESET" error either.

Regarding the Passphrase: No – it says that the passphrase was not provided upfront. What is not even possible in UI. It can say "Yes" only in scripting.
