How to get rid of error when downloading multiple files via sftp?

Question

JavaScript

I am trying to download some files from my ftp server. For small files everything works fine, but if the files are "large" (4MB in my case) then the following error occurs:

grabFile was called
connected
get finished
grabFile was called
connected
(node:7112) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: sftp.get: Received more data than requested /test/file2.csv

Even in the simplified implementation before this one, the same error still occurs:

import SftpClient from 'ssh2-sftp-client';

const grabFile = (path) => {
  console.log('grabFile was called');
  const client = new SftpClient();
  return client.connect({
    username: 'login',
    password: 'pass',
    host: 'ftp',
  }).then(() => {
    console.log('connected');
    return client.get(path, `${Math.random()}.txt`);
  }).then(res => {
    console.log('get finished');
    return client.end();
  });
};

grabFile('/test/file1.csv').then(_ => grabFile('/test/file2.csv')).then(_ => console.log('done!'));

The first file is successfully created on my computer and downloaded completely. The second one is created but this error occurs at ~5 percent. What could be the problem?

I did not understand anything. It feels like you need to re-initialize something for each file.
