Raw Site Settings
You can use raw site settings to setup advanced site settings.
In scripting, use -rawsettings switch of scripting command open (when the settings cannot be configured using session URL nor using any dedicated switch of the command).
In .NET assembly, use SessionOptions.AddRawSettings method (when the settings cannot be configured using any dedicated property of SessionOptions class).

You will also use raw site settings syntax to mass-modify stored sites using /batchsettings command-line parameter.

MaxTlsVersion |
Maximum TLS/SSL version | See MinTlsVersion |
SendBuf |
Optimize connection buffer size | 0 = Off, Any positive value = On, value indicates size of the buffer, with recommended value of 262144 The SshSimple may need to be set to 1 to disable some of the optimizations, that unchecking the GUI option disables. |
EOLType |
End-of-line characters | 0 = LF, 1 = CRLF |
PostLoginCommands |
FTP Post login commands | If you need to execute multiple commands, separate them by new-line (line-feed, hexadecimal UTF-8 code 0A). I.e. in scripting use %0A (-rawsettings PostLoginCommands=CMD1%0ACMD2), in C# use \n, in PowerShell use `n |

Other Settings
To find correct syntax for settings not listed above, configure the setting in the GUI, store it into a site, save configuration to an INI file and use the same syntax as you find an INI file.
Example
For example to enable HTTP proxy, in scripting:
open <session_url> -rawsettings ProxyMethod=3 ProxyHost=proxy
or in .NET assembly (using PowerShell):
$sessionOptions.AddRawSettings("ProxyMethod", "3") $sessionOptions.AddRawSettings("ProxyHost", "proxy")
- Enabling keepalives has very limited effect in scripting (except for
keepuptodatecommand) and almost no effect in .NET assembly.Back - Note that Remote Directory can be set using session URL, you do not need to use raw site settings for it.Back
