I opened a terminal window and executed a Ping...

On Terminal windows, there is warning:
"Do NOT execute commands that require user-input".

You may do for example:
"ping yahoo.co.uk -c 5"
to do only 5 attempts.

Re: Terminal functionnality

It should work. Please make sure that you connect using SCP protocol. Terminal feature is not available with SFTP (see Supported protocols).

Terminal functionnality

I am since a long time a happy :D user of
WinSCP 2.3.0.146 under W2K.
While not strictly necessary (I have allways also
a PuTTY terminal :idea: opened for interactive command),
I found usefull the Terminal functionality
(CTRL-T , Home Black Icon) for many non-interactive
commands (such as compiling a table, immediately
after uploading its data, etc).
Unfortunately :cry: , I moved to WinXP
and I decided btw to download the latest version.
A fresh new from sunday Aug 24 2003: version 3.2.1.174 !!!
The "Home Black Icon" is still there, but inactive...
and it seems :?: that the Terminal functionnality
is not available anymore???
..
A change between 2.3 and 3.2 :?: a bug :?:
a problem with WinXP v. Win2K :?:
