Time out after uploading > 40 files

I use vb.net program to execute winscp with options.
As long as the numbers of files are less than 40 there is no issue.
But once it is over 40, the timeout always happen.

i make the script such that it can set the timeout base on the total files size.
This is the command which i use.

option batch abort
option confirm off
open sftp://xxx@160.1.1.1 -timeout=100 -passive=on -hostkey="ssh-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -privatekey="D:\xxx_pri.ppk"


This are the log, only the starting and ending part.

batch abort
reconnecttime 120
confirm off

How do you execute your script?

Did you read this?
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_timeout_external_console

I create a windows .net service to execute the WINSCP program with option.
The command are all in a script file.
The option are point to this script file and a XML temp log file.
All information are later written to window event log.

OK. So I believe the article I linked above explain your problem.

You better use .NET assembly rather than running WinSCP process on your own.
