In this case, you can enable dropping files by specifying UNC paths to selected network drives in the //==Allow== dropping files to these network drives// box. Enter each path on separate line. |
| + | When you have problems with starting file dragging because WinSCP hangs, when trying to start monitoring a particular drive (typically a mapped network drive), you can ==exclude== it from monitoring. Add ''-X'' line to the //Allow dropping files to these network drives// box. That is a dash/minus sign, followed by the drive letter. | ||
