Overwriting Files without confirmation

2026-07-30 15:57

I am using WinSCP 6.6.2 RC Build 17374, looks like it fail to notify if the file exists, even when File setting overwrite setting turn off. I believe previous version explicitly bring overwriting confirmation window, which is no longer working. I am not sure, if this is a bug or some setting change in new version. I tried couple of things but it is not working and file just get overwrite without consent! I updated WinSCP 6.6.2 RC today and experience this issue.

I suppose you mean "turn[ed] on", not "off", right?

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.
