How do I configure session, transfer and/or any other settings for which there are no script commands?

For session settings, you can use -rawsettings switch or open command (This feature is available only in the latest beta release.) or pre-configure a stored session with all your settings from GUI and open that stored session using the open command.

This feature is available only in the latest beta release.

For example to open session with enabled HTTP proxy use following command:

open <session_url> -rawsettings ProxyMethod=3 ProxyHost=proxy ProxyPort=8080

For example to enable HTTP proxy use following INI file:

[Sessions\mysession]
HostName=example.com
UserName=customer
ProxyMethod=3
ProxyHost=proxy
ProxyPort=8080

Then, providing the INI file is found and loaded by the WinSCP process running the script, you can use command “open mysession” to open the pre-configured session.

You can even make a batch file that generates the INI file dynamically based on current context. For example to use value of environmental variable as proxy host name use following batch file:

echo [Sessions\mysession] > server.ini
...
echo ProxyHost=%PROXYHOST% >> server.ini
...
winscp /console /script=example.txt /ini=server.ini
del server.ini

See raw session settings syntax.

For transfer setting, you can pre-configure your preferred settings as default transfer settings. The script uses the default transfer settings as initial.

You can use INI file using following syntax: For example, to configure changing case of filenames to lowercase during transfer, use following INI file:

[Configuration\Interface\CopyParam]
; File name case modification (1 = Upper case, 2 = Lower case, 4 = Lower case 8.3)
FileNameCase=2
; Transfer resume/Transfer to temporary file names (0 = All files, 1 = Files above threshold, 2 = Disabled)
ResumeSupport=0

The same applies to most other settings, such as configuring reconnect interval:

[Configuration\Interface]
SessionReopenAuto=10000
