[Anonymous] ayou can remove the settings registry/file by going to stored sessions > tools > cleanup [2006-10-12 17:30]

[Anonymous] M@ttyIf anybody doesn't feel like going through the whole configuration process, WinSCPP is a pre-configured bundle of WinSCP + portaPuTTY + Notepad2: http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2002 [2007-09-10 06:06]

[Anonymous] PortaMananother way is:
as mentioned
"Download the "Standalone application" single EXE file to a folder of your choice. Rename the file from winscp4xx.exe to winscp.exe (less version dependent)."
Create a winscp.ini in the same folder copy and paste the following in that file

[Configuration\Interface]
RandomSeedFile=.\winscp.rnd
DDTemporaryDirectory=.\

that's it!

To change the language go to http://winscp.net/eng/translations.php
download the zip file of your language (e.g. German) extract that file to the same folder of winscp.exe and make sure the language file has the same name like winscp.exe. For the German file with the ending .de it must be winscp.de.
You can also integrate portaPuTTY (not the same like portable PuTTY from John but better) into WinSCP and what you become is a System Administrators best friend.

[Anonymous] SHHAlternative: WinSCP *Portable* is available from portableapps.com. [2008-03-10 02:39]

[Anonymous] linuxampI don't see why people want to use portable wrapper versions (portableapps.com) of software which is natively portable. Unnecessary wrapper if you ask me. [2008-07-14 23:34]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
