Our Connections Via WINSCP on our Firewall Do Not Identify URL, Only IP Address

Hello Martin and WinSCP Support,

I have what hopefully is a WinSCP configuration issue in some way, but it has required me to ask for SFTP firewall port openings by IP Address, and when a vendor changes IP Addresses, the access no longer works within my network until I ask for the new / updated IP Addresses to be allowed out.

I / we use WINSCP for our SFTP traffic in & out, and we use scripted automation that always uses the DNS FQDN name in all of our scripts. We build the WINSCP.COM script file and specific access information via your open statement (open sftp://<username> @<FQDN of SFTP site>:<Port> etc...).

However, my network support personnel tell and show me in their logs only show the IP Address, and the "URL" side is returning nothing, blank.

They show me many other network connections and most of them do have the URL in the log.

Please assist with recommendation.

Thanks, and Happy New Year!
