How to Open a Stored Session

2012-05-22 18:51

Hi!

I know we can open a session using SessionOptions class. How can we open a session with stored session? Sometimes we have to use proxy, which can be specified in the GUI and stored, and this can't be added in SessionOptions.

Thanks in advance.

It is not supported.
You can configure any session settings, including proxy, using SessionOptions.AddRawSettings though:

I try this and it seems to work

SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
{
Protocol = Protocol.Ftp,
HostName = "TestFTPLocal",
};

using (Session session = new Session())
{
   session.DefaultConfiguration = false;
   session.IniFilePath =@"D:\yourdir\winscp.ini";
   // Connect
   session.Open(sessionOptions);
   ...
}

And in "D:\yourdir\winscp.ini", I set my conf

[Sessions\TestFTPLocal]
HostName=myserver
PortNumber=21
UserName=myuser
FSProtocol=5
Password=[encryptPwd]

I copy this from winscp.ini of winscp GUI

I hope it helps you

Yes this works. I suggest you use my suggested approach anyway.
