| WinSCP by default performs at most two background transfers at once. If you schedule more transfers, those will wait in the queue until some previous transfer is finished. For each background transfer WinSCP opens separate connection to the server using the same session option as used for the main session. Once the transfer finishes the connection is kept on background and reused for future transfers. | WinSCP by default performs at most two background transfers at once.
