This may result into empty directory listing. Disable the option if that happens. The option has no effect if ''MLSD'' command is used for directory listing, see below. | ||

| 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. | 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.
