WinSCP will not open

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of WinSCP onto my laptop, which is running Windows 7. The first time I downloaded it, it worked fine. In the last week, it would connect with my server (using FTP), but the main window would not open. I can see that the process (WinSCP *32.exe) is running, but the program is not appearing. There are no error messages.

I uninstalled WinSCP and reinstalled the program. The same issue is occurring.

I have also been advised to use only 64-bit programs, given I am using Windows 7.

I have also experienced a similar issue with Dreamweave - I don't know if these are related.

Any advice?

Cannot get Winscp to open...

Hi, i'm having the same issue as "biddy9" (posted issue last month)... my laptop is brand new and came with Windows7. Everything was going fine with Winscp and then all of a sudden, i could not get it to work. I tried uninstall/ reinstall, tried doing a dated system restore, and i tried using Filezilla and still same problem: "connection refused". Unfortuately, this has indirectly caused a greater security issue with my computer because of the partial restore, but that is being fixed. I've checked in and out of forums to see what i can do to fix. It doesn't seem to be Winscp because i'm getting the same response when i tried Filezilla. Any recommendations and can this be avoided in the future? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If needed: email is: ayersmark@rocketmail.com

Thanks,

Mark

winSCP would not respond

Hi;
i'm having the same problem ever since i updated to the latest version 5.15.5- I try opening it and it before it even loads it freezes and stops responding.
Uninstalling and downloading it all over again worked for a few hours until the problem came back again.

Re: Password

@Shazali: Can you still connect with PuTTY without password?
I suggest you start a new thread and include PuTTY event log (showing login with password) and an equivalent WinSCP session log.

Re: password

@Shazali: I cannot imagine how installing WinSCP would break your PuTTY connection. That must have been just a coincidence. Can you login to your device anyhow? Using any other client? From any other machine?

I am having a similar issue on Windows 10 after upgrading to 5.19.1, but WinSCP never even shows up in the taskbar. In the Task Manager, it shows up under "Background processes", not "Apps", and no window ever appears.
