Windows Explorer’s ‘Send To’ Context Menu

You can have shortcut icons appear in the ‘Send To’ menu, found in the File menu in Windows Explorer and displayed when a file is right-clicked. Shortcuts can either open WinSCP and present the Login dialog or open a stored session directly. In both cases after the session is opened, the selected file(s) are uploaded to the server; WinSCP can then close or go on to display its user interface.

To create a shortcut that displays the Login dialog box, use installer or go to Preferences dialog. Alternatively, a shortcut that automatically opens stored sessions can be created by going to the Stored Sessions tab of the Login dialog box; select the stored session and click the Shell icon button.

To remove the icon, go to C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo folder (or to C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo folder on Windows 7) and remove respective shortcut.

SFTP and SCP Protocols URL Addresses

WinSCP can be registered to handle SFTP and SCP protocol URL addresses. For supported URL format see 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 installer or go to Preferences dialog.

If current user’s permissions allow, WinSCP register itself for all users. Otherwise it registers for current user only.

Learn how to copy URL of file selected in file panel to clipboard.

Search Path

From installer or Preferences dialog you can add WinSCP installation directory to search path (environment variable PATH). This is particularly useful if you use 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.
