| When set to //Auto//, WinSCP will try one time to use the ''-a'' switch, unless the server((Personal FTP server.)) is known not to support it. If that fails (for whatever reason), it stops using the switch for current session. Some servers may not report an error even if they do not support the switch. This may result into empty directory listing. Disable the option if that happens. | When set to //Auto//, WinSCP will try one time to use the ''-a'' switch, unless the server((Personal FTP server.)) is known not to support it.

This is useful when the IP address is translated (NAT). The option is available for [[ui_login_connection#connection|passive mode]] only. Initially the checkbox is in undefined state, making WinSCP use the external IP address automatically, when the provided IP address is not routable. (&beta_feature) |
