Transfering Files
- Can I transfer files between two remote servers with WinSCP (FXP)?
- When I drop files outside of WinSCP, they are moved to the drop target. I want to copy them. How do I do that?
- File transfer speed is very low. WinSCP does not utilize all available bandwidth. How do I improve the transfer speed?
- Downloaded files are stored first to a temporary directory and only after that, they are moved to the destination directory. How do I prevent storing files to a temporary directory?
- I need to overwrite a remote file that isn’t owned by me, but I’m member of its group. The file has write permission for group. After transfer I get a message like “Upload of file <filename> was successful, but error occurred while setting the permissions and/or timestamp”
- Where can I change the file transfer mode (binary, ascii) or enable the auto-select transfer mode option?
- Why is the timestamp of uploaded/downloaded file different from the timestamp of the source file?
- Can I transfer file larger then 4 GB (or 2 GB)?
- When I attempt to copy files, I get an Error 127. What does this mean?
