• SSH core upgraded to PuTTY 0.56. It brings 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.
