| 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.)). 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 option is not available, if ''MLSD'' command is used for directory listing, see above. | 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 //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.
