4.2.3.494 Custom Commands / "Open Terminal" broken

4.2.3.494 Custom Commands and the Open Terminal function are not working at all.
"Invalid access to memory" after I click any custom command or try to open terminal.

I'd say it is a critical bug. Need to revert to previous build.

[Vista+SP2 32bits]

Thanks. I'll check it.

This bug has been added to tracker.

For me I do not get the error message, but PuTTY is opened to default window (as if no server or session information was passed)

I have a slightly modified version of PuTTY 0.60
http://jakub.kotrla.net/putty/

This one lets you use files to store you config info OR registry.

This is unrelated. This topic is about the terminal console window of WinSCP.

Anyway, did it work in 4.2.2?

OK, I was causing my own problems here.

When I set the PuTTY application to "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty(ORIGINAL).exe", then the 'Open session in PuTTY' option works.


Also, I had mis-understood "open terminal" to mean generic shell, so I had not tried ^T option and only ^P option. Yes, I do also have the original bug listed in this thread.

Yes, it worked in 4.1.9 (stable release).

I have the same bug:

Invalid access to memory

when trying to do any 'Custom command'

WinSCP
Version 4.2.3 (Build 494)

Windows XP SP3

Amazing that it hasn't been remarked earlier.

I reported it right after 4.2.3 was released.

And the bug is already fixed:

We just need to wait for the next version...

I have an update on this. I was looking for where was best to place the fix - because it is PuTTY that is modified, that is also the best place for the fix (not here in WinSCP)

When WinSCP calls PuTTY it uses this command line

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" -pw "PASSWORD" -load "WinSCP temporary session"

I tested and found that if I can change that to

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe" -pw "PASSWORD" -load "WinSCP temporary session [registry]"

That it will work.

So I am thinking that the fix could be that if the first confg file is not found, then an attempt to load one with " [registry]" appended on the config name might solve the problem.

I'll look in the modified PuTTY code later on and find if I can locate that area and make the change.

What version of WinSCP are you using? Have you tried the latest one?
