System.Exception: Server returned an error (General questions)

I have a windows service (C#) which is periodically searching for files on a remote server – when it finds files that matched a certain naming convention it attempts to download the files.
When calling the GetFile method I get:
[code]
System.Exception: Server returned an error: End of file
at WeOnlyDo.Protocols.SFTP._GetFile()
at WeOnlyDo.Protocols.SFTP.GetFile(String LocalPath, String RemoteFile)
at WeOnlyDo.Client.SFTP.GetFile(String LocalPath, String RemoteFile)
[/code]
(I am able to connect to the server using WINSCP3 and download the files)

Any clue as to how to get around this issue?

Yuval,

do you use full path when you access remote files, such as

/home/joe/folder/filename.ext

or you use relative? You must use full path at all times.

I am also having this problem and I am always using the full path for the remote file in my GetFile(<remotepath>, <localpath>) call. I know the file is being transferred correctly because it shows up in my local path. I've transferred binary files (like spreadsheets) and they open correctly after the get.

I just recently received an email from Kreso in technical support and he is leaning towards a bug with the wodSFTP against the SFTP server that I'm using. My server is WAC Manager 1.4 from Foxit Software. What are you using?

As a workaround, when I catch the exception thrown from GetFile (this only occurs when BlockingMode = TRUE), I interrogate the error code returned from GetServerErrorCode(). If it is > 1, it is still an error, otherwise, I assume success. An error code of 0 means OK and an error code of 1 means End of File .

Long term, I don't like it, but I'm awaiting a response from tech support.

Scott,

this is obviously a bug in WAC you're using. We just tried to download 400kb file, and it reported file size is 17966745847332863 - which is obviously incorrect. Since we tried to download that much, eventually it reached real end of the file and reported the error.

I think you should contact WAC support about this.
