Connection Tab (Login Dialog)

Connection tab allows you to configure general protocol-independent options for the connection.

You need to check Advanced options to reveal the tab.

More connection options are available on subtabs:

  • Proxy (connection through proxy server)
  • Tunnel (connection through SSH tunnel)

Passive Mode

Passive mode is special mode of FTP protocol. Use it, when you can connect to the server, but you are unable to setup a file transfer.

Server Response Timeout

By the Server response timeout you define how long should WinSCP wait for an answer from the server before displaying window with option to Abort the connection. Note that the window does not block the waiting, so when it is displayed and the response is finally received it disappears itself.

Keepalives

Some servers (and also firewalls and routers on the way between the client and the server) disconnect clients if they do not receive any data from it within a defined period. In the Keepalives box, you may order WinSCP to send some dummy data in regular periods to avoid being disconnected. This period is defined with Seconds between keepalives.

WinSCP implements two methods for keepalives. For SFTP and SCP, the basic option is to send SSH-level keepalives implemented by null SSH packets (SSH ignore messages). Some servers may be configured not to count these packets as data and thus they will still disconnect clients sending them. Also if you use SSH-1 and your server suffers “SSH-1 ignore message” bug, this method will not work.

As an alternative WinSCP can send dummy commmands of the transfer protocol instead. For SFTP it is implemented as canonisation of path /. For SCP it is implemented as echo command.1 For FTP it is the only option and is implemented as randomly selected FTP protocol command with no effect.

  1. With SCP this keepalive method does not work while WinSCP waits for user prompt in the middle of file transfer.Back
