Via what means are you transferring those files?

Um...I don't quite understand either your description or the relevance
of the log lines. I imagine that you are using PuTTY to connect from a
Windows machine to a Linux machine over a network. However, the above
log lines pertain to "gdm", which is a Linux display manager (i.e.
pretty much nothing to do with SSH).
