The TLS/SSL page on the Advanced Site Settings dialog allows you to configure options of TLS/SSL protocols for FTPS and WebDAVS.

To reveal this page you need to select FTP or WebDAV file protocol and enable Encryption on Login dialog.

TLS/SSL Options

Using Minimum and Maximum TLS/SSL version selections, you can restrict what versions of TLS/SSL is WinSCP allowed to use.

You may want to restrict minimum TLS/SSL version, particularly in order to prevent WinSCP from using old versions of TLS/SSL protocols that suffer form known vulnerabilities (SSL 2.0 in particular, but also SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0).

You may want to restrict maximum TLS/SSL version, when there is an interoperability problem with your FTPS/WebDAVS server. Particularly TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 are new and some servers to not implement them correctly.

Uncheck Reuse TLS/SSL session ID for data connections, when there is an interoperability problem with your FTPS server when reusing the TLS/SSL session ID. The option is available for FTP protocol only.
