missing 'to' and reformulating (Petr)		5.2 Bug 927 Use of MLSD FTP command is configurable. (martin)
	Line 10:		Line 10:

	The //Support for listing of hidden files// controls if WinSCP should use command ''LIST -a'' for directory listing to request listing of all (including hidden) files. You still need to enable [[ui_pref_panels#common_options\|showing hidden files]] to have them displayed actually.

You still need to enable [[ui_pref_panels#common_options\|showing hidden files]] to have them displayed actually.
-	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 is known not to support it((Personal FTP server.)).

		+	The //Use MLSD command for directory listing// controls, if WinSCP uses ''MLSD'' or (deprecated) ''LIST'' command for directory listing. When set to //Auto// (preferred), WinSCP decides based on accounced features of FTP servers. Use //Off// only, if server's implementation of ''MLSD'' command has bugs. &beta_feature //In the latest stable version, this option is configurable using [[rawsettings\|session raw settings]]//.

	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.
