Re: bud report in 3.72, 3.73, 3.74
I have been using WinSCP for a long time. Since version 3.72 I'm unable to run it correctly anymore. I connect through a SOCKS server. But the program dies even before it sends any request. (There is no network activity noticed by the firewall.)
There is another topic on this issue.
The problem was already fixed and the fix will be part of the next release. I believe that workaround would be to check Consider proxying local host connections on Proxy tab.
The strange thing is, that it works when I don't give any proxy settings at all. Just as if I used direct connection to the Internet.
So then you probably do not need to use the proxy at all.
