Clipboard
File Name
You can copy names of files selected in file panel to clipboard, either just names or full paths. Go to File(s) > File Names > Copy to Clipboard or Copy to Clipboard (Include Paths). The command is also available from file context menu.
File URL
You can also copy file URL to clipboard. URL will be in format:
<protocol>://<session>/<path>/<filename>
where protocol is “sftp”, “ftp” or “scp” and session is name of currently opened stored session or user@host. This is URL format that WinSCP understands, when registered to handle SFTP and SCP protocols URL addresses.
See example of custom command that puts HTTP (web page) URL of file to clipboard.
