| - | ===== Transfer Mode ===== | ||
| - | Use box //Transfer mode// to select preferred [[transfer_mode|transfer mode]]. If you select //Automatic// mode, you should update the text [[file_mask|file mask]] in //Transfer following files in text mode//. | ||
| - | ===== Filename Modification ===== | ||
| - | Use selector to choose a way how to convert filename case when transferring files. This is particularly useful when transferring file between platform with case-sensitive file-system (like Unix) and platform with case-insensitive file-system (like Windows or Mac). Special option //Lower case 8.3// is useful for uploads only. With it only files whose filename follows legacy MS-DOS format (8-letter name and 3-letter extension, all letters uppercase) are converted to lower case. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The //Replace '\:*?'// checkbox affects downloads only. It makes WinSCP automatically replace characters that are not allowed in Windows filenames (''/\:*?\"<>|'') with underscore (''_''). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Attributes ===== | ||
| - | ==== Upload Options ==== | ||
| - | The //Set permissions// checkbox enables you to specify [[ui_permissions|permissions]] to be set for the uploaded files. The unchecked the newly uploaded files will have default permissions, which is platform-dependant, and the overwritten files usually preserve their previous permissions, but this can also vary with the platform. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Note that while you may have rights to overwrite the remote file, you may not have rights to change its permissions. You need then to uncheck the //Set permissions// to be able to upload the files without being prompted with an error message. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Download Options ==== | ||
| - | The //Preserve read-only// checkbox makes WinSCP to set "read-only" attribute to downloaded files that do not have user-write permission set. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Common Options ==== | ||
| - | The //Preserve timestamp// checkbox makes WinSCP preserve the last modification timestamp of the transferred file. To allow timestamp recalculation between local and remote filesystem work correctly you need to set appropriately option //[[ui_login_environment#daylight_saving_time|Daylight saving time]]//. With [[protocols|SCP protocol]] you need to set correctly also option //[[ui_login_scp#other_options|Server timezone offset]]//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Note that while you may have rights to overwrite the remote file, you may not have rights to change its timestamp. You need then to uncheck the //Preserve timestamp// to be able to upload the files without being prompted with an error message. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The //Calculate total size// checkbox make WinSCP calculate total size of all files to be transfered before the actual transfer. It allows it then to estimate time necessary to complete the transfer. Note that if you are going to transfer large number of files the calculation can take significant time. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Other Options ===== | ||
| - | In the //Exclude mask// you can specify [[file_mask|file mask]] to exclude certain files/directories (or file types) from the transfer. Leave empty to transfer all files. The option also excludes files from [[task_synchronize_full|synchronisation]] and makes them be ignored by function //[[task_keep_up_to_date|Keep remote directory up to date]]//. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The //Clear source file 'Archive' attribute// checkbox makes WinSCP unset the "archive" attribute of source files once the upload finishes. The option is not available for downloads. | ||
