I'm expecting WinSCP for just transfer my file, nothing more.
No need to record every footstep I take.

Hi Admin, sorry for being a little bit rude.

I just want WinSCP to stop logging my history. That's all.
(for privacy of course)

Currently, I'm using 5.7.7-6257.

Re: How can I stop WinSCP's spying activity?

I already turned logging off in settings, why WinSCP doesn't honor it!?

What setting do you mean?
There's no setting in WinSCP to disable edit history.
It's not spying. The history is not sent anywhere!
