| ====== Integration with Windows ====== | ====== Integration with Windows ====== | ||
| - | WinSCP offers several ways how to integrate itself into Windows. | + | You can integrate WinSCP with Microsoft Windows in several ways. You can set up the integration during installation on //[[ui_installer_selecttasks|Select Additional Tasks page]]// or later on Preferences dialog on //[[ui_pref_integration|Integration page]]//. |
| - | ===== Desktop and Quick Launch Icons ===== | + | WinSCP can also closely cooperate with [[integration_app|other applications]] namely [[integration_putty|PuTTY]]. |
| - | You can have shortcut icons to WinSCP on the desktop or Quick Launch toolbar of Windows Taskbar. The shortcut can either open WinSCP [[ui_login|login dialog]] only or open [[ui_login_save|stored session]] directly.· | + | |
| - | To create the first kind of icon use [[installation|installer]] or go to //Preferences > Integration//. To create the second kind of icon go to //[[ui_login_stored_sessions|Stored Sessions]]// tab of Login dialog, select stored session and use //Shell icon// button. | + | ===== [[icons]] Desktop ===== |
| + | You can have shortcut icons to WinSCP on your desktop. The shortcut can display WinSCP's [[ui_login|login dialog]] or open a [[session_configuration#site|site]], site folder, or [[workspace]] directly.· | ||
| - | ===== Explorer's 'Send To' Context Menu ===== | + | To create a shortcut to WinSCP, simply allow the program to create the icons itself when running the [[ui_installer_selecttasks|installer]], or click the buttons found in the [[ui_pref_integration|Preferences dialog]] if WinSCP is already installed. Shortcuts to sites, site folders and [[workspace|workspaces]] are easily made from [[ui_login#shortcuts|Login dialog]]. |
| - | You can have shortcut icons in 'Send To' menu in file context menu of Windows Explorer, which can be displayed for example by right-clicking any file. The shortcut can either open WinSCP [[ui_login|login dialog]] only or [[ui_login_save|stored session]] directly. In both cases after the session is opened, the files selected previously in Windows Explorer are uploaded to the server. WinSCP can then either close itself or open main window.· | + | |
| - | To create the icon that opens Login dialog use [[installation|installer]] or go to //Preferences > Integration//. To create the icon that automatically opens selected stored session go to //[[ui_login_stored_sessions|Stored Sessions]]// tab of Login dialog, select stored session and use //Shell icon// button. | + | The icons associated with site also serve as [[task_upload|upload]] drop targets, allowing files to be automatically uploaded when dragged over the icon and dropped. |
| - | ===== SCP and SFTP Protocols URL addresses ===== | + | ===== [[jumplist]] Jump List ===== |
| - | WinSCP can be registered to handle SCP and SFTP protocol URL addresses. For supported URL format see [[commandline|command-line options]]. If the path part of the URL does end with slash (''/'') WinSCP starts with the path as initial remote directory. If the path does not end with slash, the file (or directory) specified by it is downloaded. | + | |
| - | To register WinSCP to handle the URL addresses use [[installation|installer]] or go to //Preferences > Integration//. | + | From WinSCP [[ui_jump_list|jump list]] you can open recent sites and workspaces. |
| - | ===== Search Path ===== | + | ===== [[send_to]] Windows File Explorer's 'Send To' Context Menu ===== |
| - | [[installation|Installer]] can add WinSCP installation directory to search path (environment variable ''PATH''). This is particularly useful if you use [[scripting|console/scripting mode]]. | + | You can have shortcut icons appear in the 'Send To' menu, found in the //File// menu in Windows File Explorer and displayed when a file is right-clicked. Shortcuts can either open WinSCP and present the [[ui_login|Login dialog]] or open a [[session_configuration#site|site]] directly. In both cases after the site is opened, the selected file(s) are [[task_upload|uploaded to the server]]; WinSCP can then close or go on to display its user interface. |
| - | To modify search path, the installer modifies ''autoexec.bat'' on Windows 95/98/ME and changes machine (all users) registry keys on Windows NT/2000/XP and newer. | + | To create a shortcut that displays the Login dialog, use [[ui_installer_selecttasks|installer]] or go to [[ui_pref_integration|Preferences dialog]]. Alternatively, a shortcut that automatically opens site can be created on [[ui_login#shortcuts|Login dialog]]. |
