| - | There are two interaction modes. In the default mode the message or input box pops up whenever any of the background transfer needs to interact (but only when the main connection is idle). Alternativelly the box may not pop up automatically. Instead the respective line on queue list may visually indicate that the transfer needs interaction. User must double-click the line or choose respective command from queue [[ui_context_menu|context menu]] (or toolbar) to make the box pop up (see [[ui_queue#managing_the_queue|Managing the Queue]]. To switch to alternative mode uncheck //Automatically popup prompts of background transfers when idle// on //Background tab// of Preferences dialog. | + | There are two interaction modes.

| Some prompts of background transfers may be avoided at all. To disable overwrite confirmations (and similar prompts) check //No confirmations// on [[&screenshotimg(copy)|transfer options dialog]]. To avoid background transfers asking for password you may instruct WinSCP to save the main session password and reuse it for background transfer connections. Use //Remember password of main session for background transfers// on //Background tab// of Preferences dialog. Note that for this WinSCP must keep the password in memory, what may have security implications. If you have the password saved in [[ui_login_stored_sessions|stored session]], what is not recommended at all, the saved password is used automatically for background transfers. | Some prompts of background transfers may be avoided at all.
