WinSCP Usage Statistics

This feature is available only in the latest beta release.

Beginning with version WinSCP 5.0.7, WinSCP will include functionality to send to WinSCP team non-personal statistics about usage of WinSCP features. The only potentially personal information sent to WinSCP is IP addresses. Users can disable this functionality in the installer or anytime later in WinSCP preferences.

WinSCP usage statistics help us improve future versions of WinSCP. Once sent to us, usage statistics are stored and made available to the core WinSCP team only.

Why is it very important?

We work very hard to make WinSCP reliable and useful. We also love improving WinSCP with every release. And last but not least, we provide WinSCP application to You for free and we want this to stay so!

However our resources and time are unfortunately very limited. We want to focus our effort on improving the right features for You. Thats is why we need to learn more about how You use WinSCP. Understanding user experience is very important for us, it means, Your experience using WinSCP is important too!

Please allow to send us your usage statistics data!
