| In addition to registering to generic URL protocols, WinSCP registers for application-specific URL protocols with ''winscp-'' prefix, i.e. ''%%winscp-sftp://%%'', ''%%winscp-ftp://%%'', etc. This is particularly useful for FTP protocol, for which WinSCP competes with your default web browser. Also for links on web pages, web browsers typically ignore system registration for ''%%ftp://%%'' addresses and handle these on their own anyway. | In addition to registering to generic URL protocols, WinSCP registers for application-specific URL protocols with ''winscp-'' prefix, i.e. ''%%winscp-sftp://%%'', ''%%winscp-ftp://%%'', etc. This is particularly useful for FTP protocol, for which WinSCP competes with your default web browser.

| For SFTP/SCP URL this should be combined with including [[session_url#hostkey|SSH host key fingerprint in the URL]]. As this is WinSCP-specific extension, and also to avoid conflicts with other applications, like web browsers, consider using [[integration_url#winscp|WinSCP-specific URL protocols]]. | For SFTP/SCP URL this should be combined with including [[session_url#hostkey|SSH host key fingerprint in the URL]].
