Administration Tasks

Learn how a system administrator can restrict or enforce certain functionality of the application.

Upgrading WinSCP

To upgrade WinSCP, download the newer version, and then install it. The installation will preserve your configuration, and–if necessary–upgrade it.

Any translation from your previous WinSCP version will not work with the new version. You must install the new translation.

When upgrading Portable executable, just replace the executable files with the new version. New version can always read configuration from the old version.

Downgrading WinSCP

In most cases, you may downgrade in the same way as upgrade (i.e. install the old version over the newer one). However safe way is to uninstall the newer version (while keeping your configuration) and only then install the old version.

Note that some of your configurations may be lost when downgrading. To make sure that you will be able to downgrade, you should backup your configuration before the upgrade.
