| WinSCP sometimes sends a special request to SSH servers in the middle of channel data, with the name ''winadj@putty.projects.tartarus.org''. The purpose of this request is to measure the round-trip time to the server, which WinSCP uses to tune its flow control. The server does not actually have to understand the message; it is expected to send back a ''SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE'' message indicating that it didn't understand it. (All WinSCP needs for its timing calculations is some kind of response.) | WinSCP sometimes sends a special request to SSH servers in the middle of channel data, with the name ''winadj@putty.projects.tartarus.org''.
