Authentication banner question?

2005-12-07 13:03

I have my CopSSH server setup so users see an authentication banner during login. I am looking for a way to disable the "Never show this banner again" check box, ie. not give the user the option to not show the banner when logging in with WinSCP. Is this possible?

No it is not possible. I can add the option into the next release. However the user will always be able to download the older version :-)

Edit (2021): See ForceBanners in https://winscp.net/eng/docs/administration#configuring

Adding that option would be a big help to me and probably other users.

Thanks...
