| If you want to avoid potentially lengthy and useless re-transfer of the renamed or moved file, you can make WinSCP rename the file in the target directory instead. Select the two actions that constitute the rename (a deletion and a new file transfer) and use command //Move//.

| - | Instead of locating the move pair manually, you can also use //Tools > Find Move Candidate// command. It searches for a deletion and a new file transfer action pair of files with the same size and either same name or same location. So it finds files that were either renamed or moved into another directory (but not files that were both renamed and moved). For directories, the size is not considered. Selecting the command again, finds another candidate pair. &beta_feature | + | Instead of locating the move pair manually, you can also use //Tools > Find Move Candidate// command.
