First, read the online VPS help , there is also a video.
To transfer your own files to MetaTrader VPS, you need to specify the propert compiler in the code. It requires a certain level of ownership of the subject.

To transfer a file to a hosting server (as well as a tester agent), you need to use the directive
#property tester_file "<file_name>"

I have no problem for migration on VPS. I have done it multiple times in previous EA. It is my first time with such a problem. In the log, I read that 2 files was sent to the VPS server, but I am not sure the data file was received.
Below the log from the PS tab. I don't see anything. The incorrect parameters line come from my own code.

My file data.txt is in <Data Folder>\MQL5\Files. Created with notepad on windows, saved in UTF-8 encoding.
I use Metatrader 5 for Windows, build 2730 (dec 2020).
The expert executes fine locally, but when I migrate on VPS, I always receive 5004 error.
Please help.
