Can't edit multiple files with external editor

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to edit multiple files with an external editor. When I'm opening a file, this file is saved in a temporary folder in my machine. Once the edits are saved, they should be saved in the folder where they came from on the server.

However, this work only for the first file I open. The other files are created and deleted automatically in the temporary folder. This problem is very annoying since he forces me to modify only one file, then I need to close my editor if I want to modify another file. In other words, I can't edit multiple files at the same time.

I tried to change my editor. I tried to open WinSCP as administrator. I tried to look for problems in the log but my colleagues, who don't have this problem, have the same log. As you can guess, nothing worked.

The administrator gave me all the rights to install and modify files.

I also tried to change my version of WinSCP for an older version but this didn't work.

Thanks in advance for your help.
