I noticed on my upload script that when a file is too big => ~ 10 MB this creates the following error:

Local directory \\customer_data\001952\info\ contains  1  file(s) to be uploaded.

Exception calling "Check" with "0" argument(s): "Lost connection.
Timeout detected. (data connection)
Could not retrieve directory listing
Copying files to remote side failed."
At \customer_data\EdiCustomerDataUp.ps1:66 char:17
+                 $transferResult.Check()
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SessionRemoteException

Hence the scripts stops and doesn't go further.

I must relaunch the script and remove temporarily from my variable loop the problematic folder in order to work it correctly. I however set the timeout limit to 5 Minutes but this doesn't change anything:

# Open the FTP Session
$session = New-Object WinSCP.Session
$session.Open($sessionOptions)
$session.Timeout = New-TimeSpan -Minutes 5

# Upload the files
$transferOptions = New-Object WinSCP.TransferOptions
$transferOptions.TransferMode = [WinSCP.TransferMode]::Automatic
$transferOptions.FileMask = "*.txt, *.csv, *.xlsx";

It is always the same .txt file that trigger the problem on my local folder:

Here is my session log:

This is actually how the log looks when it's successful.

I can retrieve the FTP remote directory listing and I can see the content in WinSCP GUI (it takes some times as the folder has a huge number of files):

Could you help me to avoid this error? Thanks!

Set the SessionOptions.Timeout instead of the Session.Timeout.

Thanks Martin! It seems to run correctly now and without timeout errors. I set it here to 300 seconds.
