| - | The WinSCP .NET assembly ''winscpnet.dll'' is a .NET wrapper around WinSCP's [[scripting|scripting interface]] that allows your code to connect to a remote machine and manipulate remote files over SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3 and SCP sessions from .NET languages, such as [[#csharp|C#]], [[#vbnet|VB.NET]], and others, or from environments supporting .NET, such as [[library_powershell|PowerShell]], [[library_ssis|SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)]], ASP.NET and Microsoft Azure WebSite. | + | The WinSCP .NET assembly ''winscpnet.dll'' is a .NET wrapper around WinSCP's [[scripting|scripting interface]] that allows your code to connect to a remote machine and manipulate remote files over SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3 and SCP sessions from .NET languages, such as [[#csharp|C#]], [[#vbnet|VB.NET]], and others, or from automation environments supporting .NET, such as [[library_powershell|PowerShell]], [[library_ssis|SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)]] and Microsoft Azure WebSites and Functions. |
| The assembly is also exposed to COM, and as such it can be used from variety of other programming languages and development environments--e.g., [[library_com_wsh|WSH-hosted active scripting languages]] like JScript and VBScript, [[library_vb|Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)]], [[library_perl|Perl]], and Python. | The assembly is also exposed to COM, and as such it can be used from variety of other programming languages and development environments--e.g., [[library_com_wsh|WSH-hosted active scripting languages]] like JScript and VBScript, [[library_vb|Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)]], [[library_perl|Perl]], and Python. | ||

| - | The library is primarily intended for advanced automation tasks that require conditional processing, loops or other control structures for which the basic [[scripting|scripting interface]] is too limited. The library is not a general purpose file transfer library. It particularly lacks support for interactive processing and as such it is not well suited for use in GUI applications. | + | The library is primarily intended for advanced automation tasks on Microsoft Windows that require conditional processing, loops or other control structures for which the basic [[scripting|scripting interface]] is too limited. |

| + | You can also use the assembly to write scripts that [[guide_custom_commands_automation|extend functionality of WinSCP GUI]]. | ||
| - | As the assembly drives WinSCP Windows executable, it cannot be used in .NET Core projects. | + | The library is not a general purpose file transfer library. It particularly has a limited support for an interactive processing, and as such it is not well suited for use in GUI applications. |
| - | You can write a script using the assembly that [[guide_custom_commands_automation|extends functionality of WinSCP GUI]]. | + | Because the assembly uses ''winscp.exe'' internally, it is also difficult (but not impossible) to use the assembly within a restricted environment like a ==web== server (e.g. with ASP.NET), that limits or even restricts execution of external processes. |
