TMP-files contains login information as plain text

Hi,

I've tested including winscp.dll combined with portable winscp.exe in my VB-project. When testing I found some created tmp-files in user's temp directory and these files won't deleted when session crash. These files contains complete parameters as plain text, including user, password, port, server name and other and can be read easily.

Is encrpytion of generated tmp-files intended?

Or is there any way to pre-define name of generated tmp-files when using the winscp.dll? In this case I can define name by myself and overwrite/remove existing tmp-file after executing file transfer. Otherwise this dll is not useful and I have to implement own process starting winscp.exe using all necessary parameters in command string.

Gerald
