Re: Can I have a remote directory in both panels?
to nearly quote the faq:
Can I have a _remote_ directory in both panels (turn WinSCP into a _remote_ file manager)?
The answer would also quote the FAQ ;-)
it would be an option if it would recognize that if the 2nd session is the namely the same as the 1st it should make a cp/mv on the 1st session rather than downloading and then uploading the file again.
If the target session is "this" session, then it does. Please read documentation.
