System.ArgumentException: Destination array was not long enough.

I'm doing some stress testing using Rebex file server beta build 6010.

I'm spawning three clients and uploading 10 MB files of binary files generated with random data.

Occasionally the server disconnects one of the clients in the middle of a transfer. Here's a fragment of a debug log showing the error:

Any ideas?

Also, if a client disconnects in mid transfer, is there any way to identify which file was incomplete?

Thanks,

This looks like a bug in SFTP subsystem's data buffering that has been fixed in Rebex File Server 2016 R2.

However, you seem to be using a beta build with preliminary IFilesystem support - please download the current beta build that incorporates all 2016 R2 changes and give it a try. If the issue persists, let us know.
