Problems with backup after forget and prune on sftp-server

I place backups on a sftp-server over plink.exe. I then download this onto my Windows system as a second copy. If i run forget and prune on this second offline-copy and upload this repository back to sftp, i get these errors on next backup:

if i copy over the old unmodified repository to sftp again, all works fine on next backup.

any ideas, whats wrong after prune? The index-files exists on sftp. On my Windows-System it is all ok with this repository. i can check it or restore from it.

thanks.

My guess would be that something is wrong with the file permissions. Are these maybe different between both copies?

yes, I get the same error when the fire permissions are wrong.

hmm, currently it doesn’t look like a rights issue to me. I checked them. They are the same as the old repository.

Please, if you want help debugging this, you have to be much more specific about what exact commands you run, on/from where and so on.

This is a problem of plink.exe. I switched to SSH with private-public key. Without plink. Now it’s working.
