Thanks for the reply. I understand your position. I'm actually using Far Manager, but I thought about investigating some alternatives.

Actually if I think about it I have a Far Manager question, but I'll post it in the appropriate forum :)

Keep up the good work

WinSCP follows Windows scheme. I'm not big fan or per-application customizations. Anyway, you can change background color:

- the possibility to connect to a server either on the left or the right panel, on none at all (just local files) or on both panels (to copy from server to server)

I thought of a few features that I think will make WinSCP a better filemanager:
- options to customize the colors and fonts: background and foreground for normal, selected, under cursor and selected under cursor; font face and size for the whole file list
- the possibility to connect to a server either on the left or the right panel, on none at all (just local files) or on both panels (to copy from server to server)

What do you think?
