| - | Hacked by china. | + | ====== Transfer Options Dialog ====== |
| + | Transfer options dialog appears before transfer ([[task_upload|upload]] or [[task_download|download]]) actually starts, so you can set your transfer options. The initial options are determined by your preferred default [[transfer_settings|transfer options]]. In [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|preferences]] you can suppress the dialog at all. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The dialog slightly differs for [[task_upload|uploads]] and [[task_download|downloads]]. | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Target Directory ===== | ||
| + | Use the box at the top of dialog to set destination directory and [[operation_mask|operation mask]]. The box is hidden for drag&drop downloads with disabled [[dragext|drag&drop shell extension]], because in that mode WinSCP has no control over the target of the transfer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The destination directory is by default the current working directory (local for [[task_download|downloads]] and remote for [[task_upload|uploads]]). For downloads in [[ui_explorer|Explorer interface]], where there is no local working directory, it will be the last local directory used. For [[task_download|downloads]] you can type even UNC path as target (''\\host\share\''). | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you omit the [[operation_mask|operation mask]], you must still include a trailing slash ''/'' (for upload) or backslash ''\'' (for download). Omitting the operation mask is the same as using mask ''*.*''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Transfer Settings ===== | ||
| + | //Transfer settings// box shows current [[transfer_settings|transfer settings]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To change the settings, use //Transfer settings// button. It will reveal drop down menu with list of configured [[transfer_settings#transfer_settings_presets|presets]]. Use special command //Custom// to configure [[ui_transfer_custom|ad hoc transfer settings]] (alternatively you may double-click //Transfer settings// box). Command //Configure// opens Preferences dialog on //[[ui_pref_presets|Presets tab]]//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Additional Options ===== | ||
| + | The //New and updated file(s) only// checkbox makes WinSCP ignore files in source directory for which there exist file in the target directory with the same filename and the same or newer timestamp. The option is not available for uploads with [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]]. Make sure WinSCP can correctly [[timestamp|convert timestamps]] from local conventions to remote server conventions and vice versa before using the option. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Do not show this dialog box again// checkbox disables the dialog for further transfers. You can always revert this in [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|preferences]]. The dialog is suppressed individually for transfers initiated with drag&drop and other transfers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use //Transfer on background (add to transfer queue)// checkbox to instruct WinSCP to perform the [[transfer_queue#transferring_files_on_background|transfer on background]]. When more than one file is selected, you can choose using //Enqueue each file individually// check to en-queue each selected file as separate transfer. You can set the default value for the options in [[ui_pref_background#background_transfers|preferences]]. You cannot use background transfers when downloading files using drag&drop to another application in [[ui_pref_dragdrop#temporary|temporary folder download mode]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Saving Transfer Options ===== | ||
| + | Use the //Set as default// option in menu invoked from //Transfer settings// button to set current transfer options as default. | ||
