| The //Allow moving from remote directory to other applications// checkbox is by default disabled allowing you to only copy files using drag&drop. The reason behind this is that users expect the "copy" to be default drag&drop operation (the one performed what you do not hold any of ''Ctrl/Shift'' modifiers). Unfortunatelly it is always the target application (Windows Explorer usually), that selects the default drag&drop operation. The only thing that WinSCP can do to force "copy" be the default is disable "move" operations all together. This would force Windows Explorer to use "copy", because there wouldn’t be another option. | The //Allow moving from remote directory to other applications// checkbox is by default disabled allowing you to only copy files using drag&drop.
