| - | 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]].
