Sites/Stored Sessions Tab (Login Dialog)

The list box shows list of already saved sites (stored sessions). You should select there a site to work with before pressing one of the Login, Edit, Delete, Rename and Shell icon buttons. Double clicking a site has same effect as selecting it and pressing Login button as long as at least host name and username are filled.

The sites (stored sessions) can be organized into folders. Expand/collapse folder by double-clicking on its name. If you have many sites, you can quickly jump to a site by typing a beginning of its name.

Use the New folder button to create new site folder. To create subfolder, use path syntax “folder/subfolder” (Select the parent folder before pressing button to have the path prefilled). Note that empty folders are not preserved.

The New button resets session options on the Login dialog to the default ones and switches to Session tab.

After you set your session options, you can store them as new site.

The Edit button loads options for selected site (stored session) to Login dialog and switches to Session tab to allow modifications. To edit existing site, first load it, modify your options and than save it back (under the same or different name).

The Delete button deletes selected site (stored session) or site folder. Deleting a site folder deletes all the sites it contains.

Use the Rename button to rename selected site (stored session) or site folder.

Use Shell icon to create Desktop and 'Send To’ shortcut icons for selected site (stored session). Note that if you delete the site the existing icons will not work anymore.

If the site (stored session) has associated color, the color is used to render the site item in the list.

Tools button displays menu with various utilities:

• Import Sites (to import sites from PuTTY or FileZilla)
• Cleanup (to clean up data stored on your computer by WinSCP)
• Check for Updates (to query WinSCP homepage for updates)
