| + | ===== [[configuration_storage]] Configuration Storage ===== | ||
| + | Check //Windows Registry// to store [[config|configuration]] to Windows registry. | ||
| + | Check //Automatic INI file// to store a configuration to an INI file in the [[config#ini|default location]]. | ||
| + | Check //Custom INI file// to store a configuration into a custom [[local_path|local path]]. //This can be useful to [[guide_config_cloud|store the configuration to a folder shared over a cloud]].// Note that the location of a custom INI file is stored in Windows registry. | ||
| + | When you change a configuration storage, the configuration is automatically transferred for you. | ||
| + | ===== [[temporary_directory]] Temporary Directory ===== | ||
| + | In the section //Temporary Directory// you can configure where should WinSCP store [[temp_folders|temporary files]]. | ||
| + | Check //Use temporary directory of system// to make WinSCP store the temporary files in system temporary folder (usually defined by ''TMP'' or ''TEMP'' environment variables). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Check //Use this directory// to make WinSCP store the temporary files to [[local_path|local folder]] of your choice. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When storing temporary copies of remote files (such as when [[task_edit|editing remote files]]), WinSCP can reflect the location of the remote files into path to local temporary copy. You can choose to //Append session name to temporary path// and/or to //Append remote path to temporary path//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Check //Keep temporary copies of remote files in deterministic paths// to make WinSCP avoid using random part of the path to local copies of remote files. It also makes WinSCP retain the copies even after exit.((Does not affect ==temporary files== used when [[task_move_duplicate#duplicate|duplicating remote files]] and executing local [[custom_command|custom commands]] with remote files.)) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Checkbox //Cleanup obsolete temporary directories on startup// enables [[temp_folders#cleanup|cleanup of obsolete temporary directories on startup]]. Use checkbox //Ask before cleanup// to enable/disable confirmation before the cleanup. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== [[other]] Other ===== | ||
| + | In //Random seed file// box you can specify [[local_path|local path]] where WinSCP should store randomly generated data it uses on startup to seed its encryption random number generator. | ||
