winSCP - Portable but needs configuration

#1 Post by aceofspades »

Synopsis:
WinSCP is an open source SFTP client for Windows. Its main function is the secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic file manager functionality. It uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports, in addition to Secure FTP, also legacy SCP protocol.

Write to settings: Set in config file. Go to your user settings and do the following
Go to Editors
-Set external editor to notepad++ (on your USB)
Go to integration:
-Set PuTTY to your local PortaPuTTY(on your USB of course)
Go to storage:
-Select "INI file(winscp382.ini)"
-Select "use this directory" and select the path of your USB's temp directory
-Make a random seed file in your application folder


How to extract: Download the exe file from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wins ... e?download

Unicode Support: (dont know)

License: Open-Source

System Requirments: XP maybe a few of the other operating systems.

---
You should have notepad++ and PortaPuTTY (listed in this site) but you can also use it alone. Anyways if you SSH you mind as well have PuTTY and notepad++. These two applications are listed prominently on the website (notepad++ is in the sidebar). winSCP has its own internal editor and terminal but the terminal "cannot use any commands that require user input".

Do you know whether the INI file path can be relative?

Otherwise if the USB drive letter changes, everything will be messed up.

It automatically puts it in your application folder. You dont choose the path. Just look at the setting. So you dont need to worry. Just select INI instead of windows registry. (registry is stupid anyways)[/u]

ive been using it for quite a while and it works great. Seriously, i havent had any issues. It works as flawlessly on my SD card as it does in my harddrive.

Just did a search and found that WinSCP is already listed in the database, but the version number is outdated, so I have updated the database.
