Beautiful! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks much.

OK, so I suppose that what you need is to have an option that would make SFTP protocol selected on WinSCP startup on your particular installation. Am I right? If I am, than "Set defaults" button on "Stored sessions" tab is probably, what you are looking for.

Thanks for the reply. Great program, by the way!

Currently more people are using SCP rather that SFTP with WinSCP. See pool results on WinSCP homepage.

Hi there,

Is there any way to change the default protocol that is checked on starting up the program from SCP to SFTP? I have a bunch of clients that only use SFTP but don't always remember to change the protocol setting, so I get a lot of complaints and questions about not being able to connect. I'm curious if there's a way to force SFTP being checked on startup rather than SCP.

Thanks!
