Greetings, I'm new to WinSCP, but I think I may have found a bug with the hot-drop desktop icon.
FYI, I'm using the portable version of WinSCP (v4.1.8).
Here is the description of what I am observing:
The following steps work just fine:
1) I create a new stored session (configure everything, i.e. host name, username, password, etc).
2) I save the new stored session and use the WinSCP default session name (looks something like this: myusername@ftp.myftpsite.com).
3) I create a desktop shell hot-drop icon.
4) I test the desktop shell hot-drop icon. The hot-drop icon works great if I either drop files on the icon or double-click the icon.
Now here is the problem I'm observing:
If I modify step number 2 above and don't accept the WinSCP default session name, but choose another session name ("MySession" instead of "myusername@ftp.myftpsite.com"), the subsquently created hot-drop icon does not work. When I try to use the hot-drop icon, I get the message "Network Error", or "Host not Found". If I open WinSCP and choose to connect to the non-default named session, it works just fine. However, unless I let WinSCP name the session according the the default session naming convention, the hot-drop desktop icon does not work.
Is this a bug? Or, am I missing some critical configuration detail?
Regards, Jeff
