| + | |||
| + | For [[https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config|OpenSSH ''config'' file]], WinSCP looks to ''C:\Users\username\.ssh\config''. In the file, it looks for all ''Host'' directives with specific hostname and imports them as sites to WinSCP. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When resolving site settings, it considers all ''Host'' directives, even those with wildcards. The following directives are recognized: ''AddressFamily'', ''BindAddress'', ''Compression'', ''ForwardAgent'', ''GSSAPIAuthentication'', ''GSSAPIDelegateCredentials'', ''Hostname'', ''IdentityFile'', ''KbdInteractiveAuthentication'', ''Port'', ''ProxyJump'' (single jump only) and ''User''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When private key is found in the ''IdentityFile'' directive, WinSCP will offer you to convert the key to PuTTY format, unless a key file with the same name and ''.ppk'' extension exists already. Additionally, if certificate file with the same name (but ''-cert.pub'' suffix) is found, it will be automatically added to the converted key file. | ||
