Open a file for editing using Shift+Ctrl+E without navigating to the folder where the file lives.
WinSCP v6.5.7
This is the first time I tried this.
Using the GUI, Explorer
I have a remote path and file that I want to open for editing without having to navigate and click on the file. The file already exists. Here's an example:
Current remote path open in Explorer:
I used the "Shift+Ctrl+E" shortcut and pasted the path and filename.
Results:
The remote file opened as expected, but was downloaded locally to what was the equivalent current remote path in WinSCP:
I edited the file, and when I saved it, it updated the file in the correct remote path the file lives in.
No loss of data, but the local filesystem has a copy of the file under the wrong path now. Confusing, and worrisome.
