| - | ====== Integration with | + | ====== Integration with Windows ====== |
| - | You can have shortcut icons in 'Send To' menu in file | + | You can integrate WinSCP with Microsoft Windows in several ways. You can set up the integration during [[installation|installation]] or later on //[[ui_pref_integration|Integration tab]]// of Preferences dialog. |
| + | WinSCP can also closely cooperate with [[integration_app|other applications]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[icons]] Desktop and Quick Launch Icons ===== | ||
| + | You can have shortcut icons to WinSCP on your desktop or Quick Launch toolbar of Windows Taskbar. The shortcut can 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 [[ui_pref_integration|Preferences dialog]]. 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The icons with associated with stored session can also [[task_upload|upload]] the files dropped on them((Supported by icons created by version 3.7.6 and newer only)). | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[send_to]] Explorer's 'Send To' Context Menu ===== | ||
| + | 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 [[task_upload|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 [[ui_pref_integration|Preferences dialog]]. 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[url]] SCP and SFTP Protocols URL Addresses ===== | ||
| + | WinSCP can be registered to handle SFTP and SCP 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 [[ui_pref_integration|Preferences dialog]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If current user's permissions allow, WinSCP register itself for all users. Otherwise it registers for current user only. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Learn how to [[filenames#file_url|copy URL of file]] selected in file panel to clipboard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Search Path ===== | ||
| + | From [[installation|installer]] or [[ui_pref_integration|Preferences dialog]] you can add WinSCP installation directory to search path (environment variable ''PATH''). This is particularly useful if you use [[scripting|console/scripting mode]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To change the 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Drag&drop Shell Extension ===== | ||
| + | WinSCP [[installation|installer]] can install [[dragext|drag&drop shell extension]] to improve WinSCP capability of downloading files using drag&drop. | ||
