Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

I updated the code to the new version of WinSCP (5.9.3) and we were still seeing the issue. I am thinking this is an issue with our customers remote server.

It just started happening when we starting testing with a customers remote server. I can send thousands of files to our server without any issues.


I would open to using a debug version. Do you want me to update our code to use version 5.9.3 first? Reading the release notes, it looks like there are some changes to the classes.

Re: Public key not being offered intermittently using winscp .net

I've never seen this problem before.

If you are willing to, I can provide you a debug build of WinSCP, which does extensive logging. It can help with tracing the problem down.

Public key not being offered intermittently using winscp .net

I have a service that uses WinSCP.net to send files to a vendor. We use pulic key authentication to log into the remote server. Things seem to be sending fine, but every once in a while a session connection is able to open because the public key is not being offered.

All the files we send use the same sessionOptions. The only thing that changes is the filename.

I found this using session logging.

I am currently using version 5.7.7. Before I submit a request to have the services recompiled against version 5.9.3, is this a bug that was fixed or is this something else that I have missed?
