Keepalives by default for all new connections

2014-12-17 07:09

Greetings.
I have wireless 3g internet and WinSCP losts all connections (with ethernet all works good).
To resolve issue I turn ON keepalives.
How I can to check keepalive by default for all new connections?

O Login dialog, you can use Manage > Set Defaults to change default site settings for new site.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_login#defaults

ran into this too (my ISP added 15-minute-timeouts on everything over night ?!),
and while this is nice to update "new" connections, I´d rly need a "also update all the existing connections"
And since I connect from the GUI the fix from https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13659 won´t do it here :/

So if you´re lucky and have gitbash(and so `sed`):

# turn on for all sessions (ssh-null-type, default 30 seconds)
sed -i.bak -e '/\[Sessions\\/aPingType=1' ~/AppData/Roaming/WinSCP.ini

# turn on for all sessions (ssh-null-type, 5 minute timeout)
sed -i.bak -e '/\[Sessions\\/a PingType=1' -e '/\[Sessions\\/a PingInterval=5' -e '/\[Sessions\\/a PingIntervalSecs=0' ~/AppData/Roaming/WinSCP.ini
