| + | ====== 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]]. | ||
| + | You can [[#suppress|suppress the dialog]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The dialog slightly differs for [[task_upload|uploads]] and [[task_download|downloads]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | &screenshotpict(upload) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 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 to show [[ui_transfer_custom|Transfer Settings dialog]] (alternatively you may click //Transfer settings// box). Clicking drop down icon on the button reveals menu with list of configured [[transfer_settings#presets|presets]]. Command //Configure// opens Preferences dialog on //[[ui_pref_transfer|Transfer page]]//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Transfer on Background ===== | ||
| + | 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 //Transfer each file individually// check to en-queue each selected file/directory 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[suppress]] Suppressing the Dialog ===== | ||
| + | So suppress the dialog, check //Do not show this dialog box again//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For transfers initiated with drag&drop, the dialog is suppressed automatically after the first use, unless you explicitly opt to keep it in use by unchecking //Do not show this dialog box again//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can revert your decision in [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|preferences]] any time. Use of the dialog is configured individually for transfers initiated with drag&drop and other transfers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Generating Transfer Code ===== | ||
| + | Use the //Transfer Settings > Generate Code// command to generate a code that automates the transfer. The [[ui_generateurl|Generate Transfer Code]] window opens with the generated code. &beta_feature | ||
