This difference (40) could just mean that Linux is counting Folders in its tally of Items.You need to instruct WinSCP what to do with already existing files: 'Contents: 1,925 items, totalling 1.8GB'.ĭifferent file count in Linux (in comparison to WinSCP and Windows - 1925 vs 1885) When using default file manager Nemo 2.8.6 on Linux: WinSCP > right click on folder > Properties (note: a different context menu is triggered here):ġ885 Files, 40 folders, Size: 1.62GB (1,751,108,846 bytes) WinSCP > right click on folder > Properties > Size: 'Calculate':ġ885 files, 41 folders, 1670MB (1,751,108,846 B) Linux file manager Nemo is displaying different file count to WinSCP. Commands > Compare Directories says 'No differences found'. There were 3 cases of same file name with different case which I corrected, which then made file and byte count the same in WinSCP, except for the discrepancy of 1 more folder in remote folder count. If it was a scenario where only 10 files were involved, I could easily do a visual diff, but how to do this when there are nearly 2,000 files?

My question is, how do I know which files are not being displayed and therefore not being transferred? (So that I can somehow manually ensure all Linux files end up on Windows machine). Not support paths longer than 260 characters with FTP protocol: The second error is probably because of a too long path. The following responses to similar queries may be the cause/s:įor security reasons WinSCP does not display file with suspiciousįilenames (such as dots only) in file panel. When copying 1,925 files (1.8GB) from Linux machine to Windows machine (where WinSCP is installed), only 1,882 files (1.53GB) end up on the Windows machine.
