Progress Window

Use the Cancel button to cancel the operation. Note that with SCP protocol the transfer of file cannot be interrupted without closing whole session.

Use the Skip this file button to cancel a current file transfer, but proceed with other files in a batch.

Use the Minimize button to minimize WinSCP window to taskbar. You may be notified with a balloon once the operation finishes.

For transfer and delete operations, use the Proceed in Background button, to move the current operation to background queue. This is not supported with SCP protocol. When transfer resuming is not supported (with WebDAV and S3 protocols particularly), current file transfer will be restarted. It is not possible to move the operation to the queue, if it is a part of a larger operation (like when downloading remote file to an editor or when synchronizing).

Use the Action to perform once the operation finishes drop-down menu to choose an action to do once the operation is completed. Note that the chosen action may cancel any background transfers associated with the current session.

Use the Speed drop-down to limit a transfer speed. Available only for transfer operations. The limit is in KB/s. To remove the speed limit, set it to “Unlimited”. An initial transfer speed can be set as a part of transfer settings. You can also use a mouse wheel, when cursor hovers over the Speed box, to control the speed.
