Hello,

I’ve got a problem with FreeFileSync version 11.6.

My environment is:
- Source: AWS instance using Linux
- Destination: Windows 7 Pro with FreeFileSync 11.6

I setup a job task schedule on Win 7 to run every day to sync (update mode) from AWS to my Windows 7 on-premises.
Every job appears this error below, and i can't sync all files at once:
“...LIBSSH2_ERROR_BAD_USE: Unable to send channel data [libssh2_sftp_read]...”

Some of files has 20 GB of size, others 500 MB. At least 80% of files got these erros described above.

Now i’m using third party software (WinSCP) and runs smoothly without errors.
Did someone know this kind of error?

Thanks in Advance,
Regards

Hello,

I am also hitting this error:
Error:  Cannot read file "sftp://...".
        LIBSSH2_ERROR_BAD_USE: Unable to send channel data [libssh2_sftp_read]
The type of synchronization is mirror.
The left directory is remote (sftp) and the OS is Solaris 11.
The right directory is local and the OS is Windows Server 2008 R2.

This is bad because sometimes my backups are incomplete.
