    • When the whole toolbar does not fit on a window, dropped off buttons can be still shown using drop down menu.
    • Support for large fonts.
    • Limitations to be resolved yet:
      • Session drop down menu cannot be resized anymore.
      • Address toolbars always occupy whole line.
    • All that thanks to Toolbar2000 library by Jordan Russell and TBX library by Alex A. Denisov.

    • Automatic check in regular interval can be enabled. See Updates tab on Preferences dialog.
    • New toolbar Updates with icon indicating the new version.
    • In addition to information about the new version, WinSCP can show message from the server (even when new version is not available yet).
    • The check can pass thru HTTP proxy server.
    • To allow new features, WinSCP sends to the server its current version and UI language.
  • Several changes to custom commands:
    • Custom commands that does not work with files selected in file panels (no !, !&, !^! patterns) are now officially supported. Such commands can be executed anytime, even if no file is selected. Also they are executed only once, despite several files being selected. Options Apply to directories and Execute recursivelly cannot be configured for them. Command Disk Space Usage added as an example (df).
    • Possibility to run ad hoc custom command (File(s) > Custom Commands > Enter).

  • Preferred SFTP protocol version can be set. Particularly useful to workaround bugs in implementation of particular SFTP version (both in WinSCP and the server).
  • Functionality of SFTP server bug Does not use UTF-8 for SFTP4 and newer workaround extended. It is now titled Server does not use UTF-8. By setting it to Off, usage of UTF-8 can be forced even for SFTP3 and older (useful for servers using MBCS natively). Thanks to Tommy Wu.
  • Function Keep remote directory up to date can handle subdirectory addition and removal.
  • Function Synchronize can optionally synchronize timestamps of existing files only, instead of actual files (SFTP only).

  • Improved error reporting for Keep remote directory up to date function.
  • Function Keep remote directory up to date can perform full synchronisation on start. By default user confirmation is required.
  • Confirmation of transfer resume can be suppressed the same way as overwrite confirmation, i.e. by disabling confirmation for synchronisation, background transfers or in script.
  • Function Open in PuTTY is available on Commands toolbar.
  • Error messages have button Skip All to skip all futher errors during batch operation.
  • Single notation consistently used to refer to SSH protocol versions.
  • Proxy password is stored encrypted, while maintaining compatibility with older versions and PuTTY.

  • Fixed potential security issue in console interface tool WinSCP3.com (thanks to Paul Ward).
  • Fixed potential security issues when decoding SFTP packets.
  • Confirmations during background transfers can be supressed from Background tab of Preferences dialog too.
  • Both compare directory criterions (Compare by time and Compare by size) can be unselected making WinSCP select only files not existing in the opposite directory.
  • Functions Synchronise and Keep remote directory up to date do not delete files by default. This affects fresh installation only!
  • Server host key fingerprint verification box re-formated. It also shows key type now.
  • When synchronizing and comparing directories, the time difference of one second is ignored (for compatibility with FAT file systems). It is also ignored when transferring newer files only.
  • New scripting command call to run arbitrary remote shell command. If the current session does not support this (SFTP), separate shell session is automatically opened. Alias for the command is !.
  • File masks can be directory specific, where meaningful (text file mask, exclusion masks). For example mask */public_html/*.php mathes only PHP files in directory public_html. It does not matter what slashes are used, the mask always matches both remote and local directories.
  • Lines beginning with ; or # are ignored in script files (can be used for comments).
  • When connected to Vandyke VShell server for Windows, the remote directory tree shows list of drives on the server (implemented support for SFTP extension fs-roots@vandyke.com).
  • Window title and application taskbar button can show name of current directory (default) or current full path.
  • Session toolbar is initially hidden. Shows once you open at least two sessions simultaneously.
  • When authentication using stored password fails while running script, WinSCP does not ask user for another password.

  • Optional remote file panel column Link target showing target of symbolic links.
  • Context menu for “name” column header of file panel has item By extension to sort the column by file extension.
  • Logging level can be configured from GUI (on Logging tab of Login and Preferences dialog).
  • When changing permissions of one directory, the checkboxes cannot be toggled to “undefined” state unless Recursive options is checked.
  • Progress dialog shows Time left instead of previous Time estimated.
  • Checkboxes on permissions box toggle in order: unchecked, checked, grayed.
  • Existing target file is removed before resumable transfer to verify that user has sufficient permissions as soon as possible (SFTP-only).
  • When downloading to or uploading from the temporary directory (e.g. when editing files), user is not bothered with full path.
  • When uploading from editor using background transfer, the confirmations are always suppressed despite settings of background transfers.
  • Fallback to pre-3.7.2 method of detecting existence of remote directory, in case the server does not support SSH_FXP_LSTAT request (FTPshell Server).
  • WinSCP is no longer sending SFTP extensions winscp@winscp.sourceforge.net and software@generic-extensions. Instead vendor-id is used as proposed by SFTP version 6.
  • Smarter queue visibility toggling.
  • Link to logging configuration from log window toolbar.
  • Internal editor window never falls off the desktop work area.
  • Context help points to specific tab help for Preferences dialog.
  • Session name cannot contain some special characters. Especially slash /, that caused problems when parsing URLs.

  • New No to all button on confirmation message for alternative method of transfer resume.
  • Bug fix: It was to possible to change local drive using drop down menu, when the last used path on the drive was removed.
  • Bug fix: Functions Synchronize and Keep remote directory up to date have ignored file for one minute after the target file was changed just at whole minute (0 seconds).
  • Bug fix: Failure when browsing using back/forward buttons on some mouses and there is no path to browse back/forward.
  • Bug fix: Random seed file was not saved at all in most cases.
  • Bug fix: Misleading error message was shown when file in subdirectory was excluded by filemask (SCP-only).
  • Bug fix: When uploading file from editor, Exclude mask was not ignored, what prevented editing some files.
  • Bug fix: Check for suspicious files containing / or \ have not considered Unicode filenames (SFTP-only).
  • Bug fix: Shift+Ctrl+Left/Right in path input boxes was not selecting text.
  • Bug fix: WinSCP failed when keepalive occured during initialisation of separate shell session.

    • Support for ssh.com “des-cbc@ssh.com” authentication.
  • SFTP protocol optimalisation, especially for dealing with very small files and directories and when transfering over very fast connections. Downloads, uploads and directory listings now take up to 80%, 80% and 40% less time, respectively. Please report your personal experiences with the change, positive or negative.
  • Implemented support for editors that open multiple files in one process (window).
    • WinSCP can delay deletion of temporary local file until its exit. This is allowed only if Allow multiple opened files (editors) is enabled.
    • The behaviour can be turned on using option External editor opens multiple files in one window (process) (off by default).
    • If the option if disabled and the editor closes too early, WinSCP suggests user to enable the option.
  • When switching sessions, the panel state can be optionally preserved, including selected file and sort column/order. To disable this, go to Panels tab of Preferences dialog.

  • Window server/protocol information shows server host key fingerprint.
  • New SFTP tab on session dialog. It contains configuration options for detection of two known bugs in SFTP servers. The first bug Reverses order of symlink command arguments is known on all OpenSSH servers. The second bug Does not use UTF-8 for SFTP4 and newer is known on Foxit WAC server.
  • When overwritting local read-only file, the read-only attribute is preserved.
  • It is now possible to overwrite local hidden file (the attribute is preserved).
  • When changing local drive using drive drop down menu the current working directory on the drive is opened instead of root directory (Norton Commander interface only).
  • Partially transferred files (.filepart) have the same icon as full file would have with “partial file” overlay over it.
  • It is possible to change width of session drop down menu on Session toolbar. Just drag the empty space on the right of the drop down menu.
  • Queue sessions are kept alive if the main session is configured so. As side effect dropped connection is detected immediately (no error is displayed), not only after there is transfer attempt over it. It avoids failing transfer just because of dropped connection.
  • When secondary shell session is dropped on background, no error is displayed and the main session is no longer closed.
  • If the edited file is saved while the previous change is still being uploaded, the error is no longer displayed, re-upload is scheduled instead.
  • Language button on Login dialog includes Get More command to open translation download page.
  • Menu File Names is included in remote panel context menu too.
  • The command Files > Open opens the remote file locally always. It does not imitate double-clicking anymore (when symbolic link resolving is not enabled/supported, double-click tries to open remote file as if it were symlink to directory).

  • Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from host and user names.
  • Links to WinSCP homepage in Help menu updated to point directly on respective Wiki topics
  • First attempts for context help. F1 key now opens WinSCP documentation page. On some dialogs it now opens directly help for the dialog.
  • Installation path can be added to system search path from Integration tab of Prefenreces dialog.
  • Bug fix: When synchronising local directory from console mode using SCP protocol, some files were printed twice. Once with path, once without.

    • Security fix: the vulnerability reported by iDEFENSE is fixed. See details.
    • Several other changes.
  • Added support for UTF-8 encoded filenames for SFTP protocol version 4 and newer.
  • WinSCP returns exit code 1, when any command in console mode is interupted due to an error or any prompt is answered Abort (even automatically in batch-mode).
  • Setup application can add WinSCP installation folder to search path (%PATH%). Thanks to Marco Barisione for his add_path tool.
  • New upload option Clear source file ‘Archive’ flag.
  • Command Open in PuTTY can optionally send password to PuTTY. When the option is on, the password must be kept in memory.
  • Usage of option --full-time with LS command is configurable (SCP only).

  • Warning is shown when user stores session with filled password.
  • %XX in URLs are decoded. Plus sign (+) is converted to space.
  • New option to swap panels in Norton Commander interface.

3.7

2004-10-13

  • Scripting/automation.
  • Custom commands enhanced:
    • New pattern !& for remote commands to insert space separated list of selected files. Only one command per selection is executed. The pattern cannot be combined with pattern !. Sample command Tar/GZip now uses the pattern as well as new sample command Grep.
    • New option Show results in terminal. Used by new sample command Grep.
    • Custom commands can be executed locally on temporarily downloaded files.
    • Local custom commands can be executed on pairs of remote (temporarily downloaded) and local files (Norton Commander interface only). New sample command File compare uses the option. Replace simple fc command with your favourite diff tool.
  • New command-line parameters /synchronize and /keepuptodate. Both have two optional arguments for local and remote directory. If parameter is preceded by stored session name, it is opened automatically. Otherwise login dialog is shown.
  • For SCP protocol the directory is read with --full-time option to get second-precision timestamp (necessary for synchronisation). When the reading of the first directory fails (for whatever reason), the directory is reloded without the option and the option will no longer be used. Next version will include option to control the behaviour manually.
  • “Host hasn’t answered for X seconds” message disappers itself once the response finally arrives.

  • SSH core upgraded to current development snapshot of PuTTY. It brings following changes:
    • Support for CHAP (digest-based) authentication when talking to SOCKS 5 proxies. Configures itself transparently (if the proxy offers CHAP it will use it, otherwise it falls back to ordinary cleartext passwords).
    • Negotiated SSH-2 MAC algorithm(s) are mentioned in the Event Log.
    • OSU_1.5alpha4 added to list of known servers with bug Chokes on SSH-1 ignore messages. Now it is possible to login to the server with the respective bug-option set to default value Auto.

  • Bookmarks and location profiles changes:
    • Buttons to switch between bookmark and location profile modes.
    • Local path box has history drop-down.

  • Directory tree node automatically expands itself when selected.
  • Direction switch on synchronisation dialog separated from other options to emphasise that its state is not stored, when Use same settings next time is checked.
  • Button Cancel on Cleanup application data dialog renamed to Close, so, when invoked during uninstallation, it does not make impression that it cancels the whole process.
  • Fixed bug in SCP protocol “dummy command” keepaliave mode.
  • Bug fix: If the option Preview changes was stored in preferences for Synchronize command, it affected incorrectly the Keep up to date command too.

3.6.8

2004-08-25

  • New function to duplicate remote files. Implemented natively only for SCP protocol as SFTP does not have the functionality. With SFTP the command can open secondary shell session, like with Open Terminal (and other functions), to perform the duplication.

  • Bug fix: With some specific devices, prompt to insert media was shown just before the main windows of application was displayed (Norton-Commander interface only).
  • Bug fix: The check for obsolete default translation files failed to display complete error message when the translation file was really very old.
  • Bug fix: When drive (like USB memory stick) was attached or detached the local directory tree was not refreshed, making the new drive inaccesible from local panel (Norton-Commander interface only).
  • Bug fix: Remote path history was corrupted, when directory was changed using directory tree.
  • Bug fix: Assertion error in attempt to use Desktop or My documents in local path drop-down menu.
