Bug 883 Automatically substitute passive transfer channel IP address when misconfigured server suggest unroutable address (martin)		bug 883 is actually in stable release already (martin)
	Line 12:		Line 12:
	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.

-	The //Force IP address for passive mode connections// controls, if WinSCP should use the external IP address of the FTP host instead the IP address provided by the server. 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.
