    I used to load my kdbx database over sftp from my own domain on my old win 7 pro home machine with the IOProtocolExt plugin.
    On my new windows 10 pro machine at work the database loads (same config as the windows 7 machine) but gives an "databsae corrupted" error after loading the db.
    Back at home the db can load w/o any problems. so the db is clean. Even when i copy the db at work manuell to the machine desktop an load from there, i can load the db w/o any problems. So there must be an problem with the IOProtocolExt plugin or with WinSCP. Maybe it is a problem with the rights given on Windows 10 as i noticed there ar some new restrictions.

    Anyone that can test and can verify the problems? Thank you for your help!

    Friendly regards

    Addition: Even simple standard FTP doesn't work. So it have to be an general problem... Maybe the access rights in the temp folder? Any ideas?

    I'd say the work firewall is not allowing you correct access.
    Do you need to authenticate to get through the firewall / proxy? If so there is a change to the authentication mechanism in the next version of KeePass - due very soon.
    Can you download the file via FTP in your browser?

    cheers, Paul

    I have tested the download with firewall off. Download via ftp in Firefox is possible.
    I can see, that the kdbx file in keepass is downloaded twice. after check it says the file is crrupted. i think, there is some problems with the rights, but do not know where to check it...

    Can you open the file via FTP without the plug-in?
    FTP via Internet Explorer?

    cheers, Paul

    Yes, opening the file without the plugin via ftp does work. So it must be a problem with the plugin. Any Idea?

    KeePass uses the .NET FTP calls which honours your firewall authentication, the plug-in does not.
    There is no fix for this - the plug-in is meant to bypass .NET - unless a newer version of WinSCP has a solution.

    According https://winscp.net/eng/docs/requirements#client WinSCP should be able to work with Windows 10. For testing i disabled the firewall. It even downloads the file, but it says it's corrupted....

    Can you download it manually with WinSCP?

    cheers, Paul

    With the new released IOProtocolExt v1.11 everything works fine. Thank you for your Help! ;-)
