WinSCP on Server 2016, Windows 10 running on Citrix

Hi,

I'm writing because my company are potentially upgrading to MS Server 2016 on Citrix.

I was just wondering if there's any known compatibility issues with running WinSCP on Server 2016, Windows 10 running on Citrix?

Thanks, any help on the compatibility would be a great help in alleviating the risk and allowing for the upgrade.

We are not aware of any problems.

I have successfully tested WinSCP on Windows Server 2016.
Documented here:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/requirements#client

I am wondering if you can help me with the latest version of winscp on server2016, because I can´t reach any Host via SFTP via Hostname. If I try to connect, I get the error message Host does not exist. If I tried with the IP Address I the Application can connect.
It works on Server2012 R2 before.

Do you have a clue?

Best Regards.

Tom

Can you connect with any other SSH/SFTP client? Can you even ping the hostname?

Yes I can ping the system with hostname / nslookup etc. and I have already tried to connect to other systems. But with winscp it doesn`t work. Therefore I have checked with other tools e.g. cyberduck and filezilla this works as designed.

Can you post a verbose Cyberduck and FileZilla log file?
Did you check your Windows firewall for application-specific rule that may prevent WinSCP from connecting?

Thanks for testing this! Could you also tell me whether version 5.9.4 also works on MS Server 2016 without upgrading? This is the latest version we're running.

Thanks in advance!

Please do not use an old version of WinSCP.
Having that said, there's no reason it should not work.
