It implements [[sftp|SFTP protocol]] extension that lists drives on the server. WinSCP is then able to show them on [[ui_file_panel#directory_tree|remote directory tree]]. |
+ | * Some servers list the drives in a root folder (''/'') as a virtual subdirectories (''/X'' or ''/X:'', where ''X'' is the drive letter). | ||
+ | * On other servers you will need to use //[[task_navigate#manual|Open directory]]// command and type path to another drive manually. | ||
+ | * On [[guide_windows_openssh_server|Microsoft native build of OpenSSH server]]: You need to type path like ''/X:'', where ''X'' is the drive letter. | ||
+ | * Windows clones of OpenSSH server running on Cygwin: You need to type path like ''/cygdrive/X'', where ''X'' is the drive letter. | ||
+ | * On Vandyke (and some others) server you need to type path like ''X:/'', where ''X'' is the drive letter. | ||
- | On other servers you will need to use //[[task_navigate#entering_path_manually|Open directory]]// command and type path to another drive manually. | + | If you usually use one drive only with WinSCP, you would probably want to [[task_navigate#bookmarks|bookmark]] it, not to type it again all the time. Or use it as [[ui_login_directories#directories|initial remote directory]]. |
