Error managing mods via SFTP
I manage mods on a remote dedicated server via SFTP. I can add the server info into SMM and add/update/remove mods without issue (though slowly - mods extract to the remote server at like 50kbps).
The next time I come back to SMM, however, if I try to add/update/remove a mod I always get the error "failed to get platform: failed to validate installation: failed reading FactoryGameSteam.exe: failed to check if file exists: connection lost".
If I then remove the server SFTP info from SMM and re-add it using the exact same SFTP info it will generally start working again. Sometimes I need to do this twice in a row.
In addition to be kind of annoying, this leads to problems where my local machine and remote server are out of sync on versions, causing all kinds of annoying issues.
Any recommendations? I couldn't find many references to others with this issue.
