Version 4.2.5 is now available at http://winscp.net/eng/download.php.

Changes in this release:

  • Environment variable WINSCP_PATH pointing to path, where WinSCP executable file is located, is set on startup, so it can be used to configure portable paths relative to the WinSCP executable file.
  • It is not possible to cancel master password prompt anymore, when saving session with passwords.
  • Slash added to names of directories in search results to distinguish them from files.
  • Keyboard shortcut for finding files changed to F3 in Explorer interface.
  • Path is recorded in history after changing directory in console window.
  • Replacing characters not allowed in local file names is taken into account with synchronized browsing.
  • Merged error message and directory creation confirmation box into one, when synchronized browsing cannot find corresponding opposite directory.
  • Synchronized browsing can handle change to different directory branch.
  • Placed Use same options next time on synchronization dialog above transfer settings box to make it clear that transfer settings are not saved.
  • SSH core upgraded to the latest development snapshot of PuTTY (2008-11-22, revision 8755). It does not bring any notable change.
  • Bug fix: When master password changing was canceled, message informing about successful change appeared anyway.
  • Bug fix: No help was associated with Security tab of Preferences dialog.
  • Bug fix: Passwords in default session settings were not re-encrypted when master password was changed.
  • Bug fix: Empty session password were in rare situation encrypted using master password, what caused seemingly useless prompts for master passwords.

  • Bug fix: Error when moving local directory to remote side.
  • Bug fix: Help for put scripting command incorrectly claimed that -append switch is valid for FTP protocol only.
  • Bug fix: Ampersands (&) in names of transfer settings presets and custom commands were handled inconsistently.
  • Bug fix: Excluding file from transfer did not prevent access to the file.
