Error description
Customer reports that the FTP client from PCOM 6.0.13 on Win2012 crashes frequently if the session is TLS encrypted with MSCAPI. No problems with un-encrypted sessions. After IT16574, the receive works fine even for big data sets (10GB) but send is still crashing if large files are used. Small files are OK
