| - | virtualventures.ca | + | ====== Managing Sessions ====== |
| + | The [[ui_login|Login dialog]] shown on startup lets you open the first session.((I you have opted not to show the Login dialog automatically by mistake, you can restore it in [[ui_pref_window|preferences]].)) But with WinSCP you can have several sessions opened at once or close the first session and reuse the window for another. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[opening_additional_connection]] Opening Additional Sessions ===== | ||
| + | Once you have opened your first session and the main window shows up, you can open additional sessions using //Tabs > New Tab [> Remote Tab]// or the corresponding toolbar button or [[ui_tabs#keyboard|keyboard shortcut]]. The [[ui_login|Login dialog]] will show. There you can choose some of your [[session_configuration#site|sites]] or enter the login details manually. To directly open a site, go to //Tabs > Sites//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The newly opened session will become active. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use WinSCP [[ui_jump_list|jump list]] to reopen recent sessions too. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[closing]] Closing Session ===== | ||
| + | To disconnect a connection, while keeping the connection tab open, go to //Tabs > Disconnect Session//. To close the session tab, go to //Tabs > Close Tab// or [[ui_tabs#working|close the tab itself]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When the last connection is closed, [[ui_login|Login dialog]] shows automatically, by default. You can [[ui_pref_window#miscellaneous|turn that off in preferences]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also have session disconnected automatically once [[once_done|an operation finishes]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[saving]] Saving Opened Session ===== | ||
| + | If you have opened ad hoc session, but then you decide that you want it in [[ui_login|site list]], you can use command //Tabs > Save Session as Site//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Even if the site you are connected to is already stored in the site list, you can use the command to change the site's initial state (such as [[ui_login_directories#directories|directories]], [[task_navigate#synchronize_browsing|synchronized browsing state]] and [[#session_color|session color]]) to current ones. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[session_color]] Session Color ===== | ||
| + | If you like, you can associate color with each session. The color will influence [[ui_file_panel|file panels]], [[ui_tabs|tab]], site item in [[ui_login|site list]] and well as initial color of associated [[ui_editor|internal editors]]. You can associate the color with site on [[ui_login_advanced#color|Advanced Site Settings dialog]]. To change color of already opened session go to //Tabs > Color//. | ||
