Software Update: WinSCP 3.7.1

WinSCP is an open source SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure CoPy) program for Windows that uses SSH (Secure SHell). The program is intended to exchange files between two computers, both locally and at a distance† In addition, files and folders can of course also be renamed, the properties are modified and shortcuts are created. The interface can look like Total Commander (see below) or the normal Windows Explorer. More information about the possibilities of this program is on this one page to find. WinSCP can be used as a standalone program, or as a plugin for FAR† The changelog of the recently released version 3.7.1 shows the following changes:

changelog

• SSH core upgraded to PuTTY 0.56. It brings the following changes:
  • Security fix: the vulnerability reported by iDEFENSE is fixed. See details.
  • Several other changes.
• Added support for UTF-8 encoded filenames for SFTP protocol version 4 and newer.
• WinSCP returns exit code 1, when any command in console mode is interupted due to an error or any prompt is answered “Abort” (even automatically in batch-mode).
• Setup application can add WinSCP installation folder to search path (%PATH%). Thanks to Marco Barisione for his add_path tool.
• New upload option “Clear source file ‘Archive’ flag”.
• Command “Open in PuTTY” can optionally send password to PuTTY. When the option is on, the password must be kept in memory.
• Usage of option –full-time with LS command is configurable (SCP only).
• When the server does not support resolving symbolic links (SFTP version 2 and older), the double-click on regular file (possibly symlink) makes WinSCP try to open directory with the same name.
• Removed no longer useful button “Retry” from “timeout” message.
• Warning is shown when user stores session with filled password.
• %XX in URLs are decoded. Plus sign (+) is converted to space.
• New option to swap panels in Norton Commander interface.
• When LS command does not list anything, error messages are shown even if “Ignore LS warning” option is turned on (SCP only).
• Added command “Create directory” to context menu of file panels.
• Solved all compiler warnings when compiling WinSCP using makefile.
• Bug fix: When SFTP server incorrectly replied with packet SSH_FXP_STATUS with “success” status, WinSCP tried to decode the packet as if it were packet of expected type in some cases.
• Bug fix: Backspace changed to parent directory even during in-place renaming of file.
• Bug fix: Missing quote in sample custom command “File Compare”.
• Bug fix: Keyboard shortcuts for file selection (Grey */+/-) do not beep anymore.
• Bug fix: Ctrl+C on message dialog has omited some new lines.
• Other minor changes and fixes.
