| + | WinSCP looks for extensions in three locations: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * ''Extension'' subfolder of WinSCP installation folder. This is where WinSCP installer installs the official WinSCP extensions (see above). | ||
| + | * ''WinSCP.exe'' executable folder. This is handy for a [[portable|portable use]] of WinSCP. Just put your extensions to the same folder (USB drive) as the [[executable|WinSCP executables]]. | ||
| + | * ''Extensions'' subfolder of WinSCP application data folder. Typically ''C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\WinSCP\Extensions''. This is where WinSCP stores the user-installed extensions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The extensions must have a file extension ''.WinSCPextension'', optionally followed by an actual file type extension, e.g. ''.WinSCPextension.ps1''. WinSCP automatically renames the user-installed extension files to match this requirement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Files with other file extensions in the extension locations are ignored, as well as files that have invalid extension metadata. | ||
