Tasks not ending

I have a recurring yet fairly random problem where tasks don't end. They run perfectly and the last line says "Task executed successfully". Still, the task remains in the "Running Tasks" list and it doesn't run again as scheduled. It usually happens to mutliple tasks.

Ideas?

SFTP transfers

Actually, I need to know about SFTP (SSH), rather than FTPS (SSL).

Creating a file list, excluding folders

I'm trying to create a file listing in a large directory, excluding a list of subfolders.I've got it working using nested loops to compare every file to every excluded folder, but it's incredibly inefficient and is taking an hour to run.Does anyone have any better ideas?
