Administration Tasks
WinSCP allows system administrators to restrict or enforce certain functionality of the application.
Configuring the Restrictions
System administrator can configure following:
- Restrict password storing.
- Restrict file opening/editing.
- Restrict connection to servers without having their host keys accepted in advance.
- Force authentication banners being shown.

These restrictions are configured via “local machine” registry root key (modifiable only by system administrators). Example of corresponding registry export follows:
REGEDIT4 [[[[[Internal Link]][[[[Internal Link]]== === Level 5 Headline === ==== ===== Level 3 Headline ===== ==== == ]]]] ===== [[special_session]] Unmodifiable Stored Session ===== Administrator can set session setting ''Special'' to 1 to restrict user from modifying or deleting the session accidentally (Note that the setting can be changed by end-user). Such session will also be highlighted in [[ui_login_stored_sessions|session list]]. Example how to configure the setting, if INI file is used as [[config|configuration storage]], follows: <code ini> [Sessions\Server] HostName=nene.com UserName=nene Special=1
