It makes sense to use the option only if you [[ui_login_save|save your session preferences]] to stored session, because it is the stored session what gets updated on each session close.

| - | When WinSCP reads directory content it by default also resolves all symbolic links it finds. Particularly to learn if they point to file or directory. If the directory contains too many symbolic links, it can slow down opening directory significantly. You may disable the feature by unticking //Resolve symbolic links// to speed it up. You may use the command also when WinSCP hangs when resolving cyclic links. While WinSCP detects most cyclic links, it can still hang when it encounter more complex symlink "systems". Note that when the resolving is disabled, //[[task_link|Add/edit link]]// command is disabled. Also when the resolving is disabled, double-clicking on any remote file will be intepreted as attempt to open directory with the same name. This allows opening links pointing to directories even when WinSCP does not know they are links. | + | When WinSCP reads directory content, it by default also resolves any symbolic links it finds.
