Re: I want to change the default download path when I click an FTP URL

The session name has to match whole URL part between the slashes.

Another option is to encode the local path to the URL:
ftp://user:pass;x-localpath=C:\download\path@10.10.10.10/dafs.pdf

Re: I want to change the default download path when I click an FTP URL

Thank you. I think I can understand why you don't like this Feature Requests.

But
When I open a webpage and click a URL(like ftp://user:pass@10.10.10.10/asdb.pdf),
I change the path to Desktop, and then I click another URL (like ftp://user:pass@10.10.10.10/dafs.pdf),
The default download path is still the Document path.

I also create a stored site named 10.10.10.10 (so as user and pass), and change its local path to Desktop. It doesn't work. The default download path is still the Document path.

Re: I want to change the default download path when I click an FTP URL

The default download path is the last used local directory for the session.

If you create a stored site with same name as your URL, WinSCP should pick the download path from it.

I do not think I like the idea of skipping the download dialog and starting the download without any user intervention.

So that I need not click the dialog every time.

Thank you.
