5.6 Bug 1139 Session option Chokes on WinSCP’s SSH-2 ‘winadj’ requests made configurable (martin) chokes on winadj is beta (martin)
Line 48: Line 48:
It has been known for some SSH servers to get confused by this message in one way or another – because it has a long name, or because they can't cope with unrecognised request names even to the extent of sending back the correct failure response, or because they handle it sensibly but fill up the server's log file with pointless spam, or whatever. WinSCP therefore supports this bug-compatibility flag: if it believes the server has this bug, it will never send its ''winadj@putty.projects.tartarus.org'' request, and will make do without its timing data.
