-===== Properties =====+===== [[properties]] Properties =====
^ Name ^ Description ^ ^ Name ^ Description ^
-| SessionProtocols Protocol | Protocol to use for the session. Possible values are ''SessionProtocols.Sftp'', ''SessionProtocols.Scp'' and ''SessionProtocols.Ftp''. Defaults to ''SessionProtocols.Sftp''. | +| FtpMode ==FtpMode== | [[ftp_modes|FTP mode]]. Possible values are ''FtpMode.Passive'' (default) and ''FtpMode.Active''. | 
-| string HostName | Name of the host to connect to. Mandatory property. | +| FtpSecure ==FtpSecure== | [[ftps#methods|FTPS mode]]. Possible values are ''FtpSecure.None'' (default), ''FtpSecure.Implicit'' and ''FtpSecure.Explicit''.
-| uint PortNumber | Port number to connect to. Keep default ''0'' to use the default port for the protocol. | +| <del>bool ==GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnySshHostKey==</del> | Give up security and accept any [[ssh_verifying_the_host_key|SSH host key]]. To be used in exceptional situations only, when security is not required. When set, log files will include warning about insecure connection. To maintain security, use [[#sshhostkeyfingerprint|''SshHostKeyFingerprint'']]. //Obsoleted, use [[#sshhostkeypolicy|''SshHostKeyPolicy.GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAny'']] instead.// | 
-| string UserName | Username for authentication. Mandatory property. | +| bool ==GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAnyTlsHostCertificate== | Give up security and accept any FTPS/WebDAVS server [[tls#certificate|TLS/SSL certificate]]. To be used in exceptional situations only, when security is not required. When set, log files will include warning about insecure connection. To maintain security, use [[#tlshostcertificatefingerprint|''TlsHostCertificateFingerprint'']]. | 
-| string Password | Password for authentication. | +| string ==HostName== | Name or IP of the host to connect to. Mandatory property. In a form of ''example.com'' or ''192.0.2.0''. | 
-| string HostKey | [[ssh#verifying_the_host_key|Host key]] of the SSH server. Mandatory for SFTP/SCP protocol. |+| string ==Name== | Returns a generated name of a session, based on available information -- typically ''UserName@HostName''. Read-only. | 
 +| string ==NewPassword== | When set, tries to [[task_change_password|change password]] to the new one. | 
 +| string ==Password== | Password for authentication. | 
 +| int ==PortNumber== | Port number to connect to. Keep default ''0'' to use the default port for the protocol. | 
 +| string ==PrivateKeyPassphrase== | Passphrase for encrypted private keys and client certificates.
 +| Protocol ==Protocol== | Protocol to use for the session. Possible values are ''Protocol.Sftp'' (default), ''Protocol.Scp'', ''Protocol.Ftp'', ''Protocol.Webdav'' and ''Protocol.%%S3%%''. \\ When set to ''%%S3%%'', and [[#hostname|''HostName'']] is not set yet, it is set to ''s3.amazonaws.com'' and [[#secure|''Secure'']] is enabled. | 
 +| string ==RootPath== | WebDAV root path or S3 bucket path. Set, when the HTTP server root or S3 bucket list is not accessible. | 
 +| bool ==Secure== | Use encrypted connection (TLS/SSL) with WebDAV or S3. Default is ''false''. | 
 +| [[dotnet>system.security.securestring|SecureString]] ==SecureNewPassword== | When set, tries to [[task_change_password|change password]] to the new one. Use instead of [[#newpassword|''NewPassword'']] to reduce a number of unencrypted copies of the password in memory. | 
 +| [[dotnet>system.security.securestring|SecureString]] ==SecurePassword== | Encrypted password for authentication. Use instead of [[#password|''Password'']] to reduce a number of unencrypted copies of the password in memory. | 
 +| [[dotnet>system.security.securestring|SecurePrivateKeyPassphrase]] ==SecurePrivateKeyPassphrase== | Encrypted passphrase for encrypted private keys and client certificates. Use instead of [[#privatekeypassphrase|''PrivateKeyPassphrase'']] to reduce a number of unencrypted copies of the passphrase in memory. | 
 +| string ==SshHostKeyFingerprint== | Fingerprint of SSH server [[ssh_verifying_the_host_key|host key]] (or several alternative fingerprints separated by semicolon). It makes WinSCP automatically [[scripting#hostkey|accept host key]] with the fingerprint. Use SHA-256 fingerprint of the host key. Mandatory for SFTP/SCP protocol.((You can leave the property ''null'', if you set [[#sshhostkeypolicy|''SshHostKeyPolicy'']] to a different value than ''SshHostKeyPolicy.Check''.)) //Learn how to [[faq_hostkey|obtain host key fingerprint]]//.  | 
 +| SshHostKeyPolicy ==SshHostKeyPolicy== | SSH host key policy. Use the default ''SshHostKeyPolicy.Check'' to [[ssh_verifying_the_host_key|verify the host key]] against [[#sshhostkeyfingerprint|''SshHostKeyFingerprint'']]. Use ''SshHostKeyPolicy.GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAny'' to give up a security and accept any SSH host key. To be used in exceptional situations only, when security is not required. When set, log files will include warning about insecure connection. Use ''SshHostKeyPolicy.AcceptNew'' to automatically accept host key of new hosts. The known keys are cached in registry. | 
 +| string ==SshPrivateKey== | SSH [[public_key#private|Private key file]] contents. | 
 +| string ==SshPrivateKeyPath== | Full path to SSH [[public_key#private|private key file]]. | 
 +| string ==TlsClientCertificatePath== | Full path to [[tls#client_certificate|TLS/SSL client certificate]]. | 
 +| string ==TlsHostCertificateFingerprint== | Fingerprint of FTPS/WebDAVS server [[tls#certificate|TLS/SSL certificate]] to be automatically accepted (useful for certificates signed by an untrusted authority). Use SHA-256 fingerprint of the certificate. | 
 +| TimeSpan ==Timeout== | Server response timeout. Defaults to 15 seconds. | 
 +| int ==TimeoutInMilliseconds== | Alternative to [[#timeout|''Timeout'']]. Particularly useful for COM hosts, that cannot use ''TimeSpan'', such as Visual Basic. | 
 +| string ==UserName== | Username for authentication. Mandatory property. | 
 +| <del>bool ==WebdavSecure==</del> | Obsolete. Use [[#secure|''Secure'']]. |

 +===== Methods =====

 +| [[library_sessionoptions_addrawsettings|AddRawSettings]] | Allows configuring any site settings using raw format as in an INI file. | 
 +| [[library_sessionoptions_parseurl|ParseUrl]] | Parses session URL into its components. |

In most cases you need to fill in ''Password''. Exceptions are: In most cases you need to fill in ''Password''. Exceptions are:
-  * The server does not require password; +  * You use different authentication method than a password authentication, such as [[public_key|public key authentication]] for SSH session
-··* You use different authentication method than a password authentication, such [[public_key|public key authetication]] (with passphrase-less private key or with use of [[ui_pageant|Pageant]]) for SSH session.+· * The server does not require password
 + 
 +For SSH (SFTP/SCP) session you need to fill in the ''SshHostKeyFingerprint'' to verify the expected [[ssh_verifying_the_host_key|server host key]]
