If WinSCP cannot find the PuTTY executable in the default path (particularly when you are using a derived version of PuTTY) you can specify the path in [[ui_pref_integration_app|preferences]]. Optionally you can also instruct WinSCP to send a session password ([[security_credentials|if known]]) to PuTTY.

As PuTTY needs the session startup command to be stored in a file, you need to make use of ''!`command`'' [[ui_pref_integration_app#client_path|pattern]] to store the above command into a temporary file.
