SFTP - copied files are 0 bytes or TC crashes

Post by *seb- »

Hi There,

i just tried to use the SFTP Plugin to get some files from my Synology NAS (DS211j).

As i don't want to expose the SFTP port in public i tunnel a local port (port 9999) via Putty to the destination port at home (port 31337).

After configuring SFTP Plugin (started with v1.3) i can connect to my NAS using SFTP just fine and the directory listing seems to be quick.

However, when i try to transfer files either the files i download are 0 bytes, or if i try to upload a file, TC crashes completely.

I'm using TC 8.0 x64 and also updatd SFTP Plugin to v1.4 now. I Rechecked that i use the latest version of the cURL library that is linked from Ghisler.com's WFX Plugin list.

It is:
MinGW64 7.29.0 devel SSL SSH Günter Knauf 2.15 MB

I tried to make sure my NAS is not the problem. If i use WinSCP (also using the SSH tunnel via Putty) the transfer works just fine.

Is there any suggestion what i should try find out what causes the problem, or where to look for someting?
Or might the problem be that tunneling is the problem for TC?



Update before posting ;)
I tried to not tunnel SFTP directly but using Putty as Socks Proxy (shouldn't be too much difference anyway) with almost the same result: file transfer is not working in any direction but TC seems to not crash directly.


Thanks for any help!

What are your settings at SFTP connection?
Do you use SCP transfer or ZLIB compression option?

SCP... i should have found this myself ;)

Thanks for giving the hint. After removing this option it seems to work...

However, this shouldnt make TC crash... maybe theres a memory leak or some other unhandled problem that should be fixed?
