| + | To connect to a new site, select //New Site// node in the tree on the left. Then select [[protocols|protocol]], enter hostname and your user name. Typically you will also need to enter your password. For details see below. | ||
| - | ======= ======= | + | To start ad-hoc connection, click //Login// button. |
| - | Hacked by ThePortFX AND NEXUS | + | If you plan to connect to the site often, you will want to [[session_configuration#site|save]] the site by clicking //Save// button. |

| - | we can have all !° | + | ==== Session Settings ==== |
| + | The //File protocol// selection lets you choose [[protocols|transfer protocol]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When [[ftp|FTP protocol]] is selected, you can further specify to use basic unsecured variant (//No encryption//) or one of [[ftps#methods|methods to invoke FTPS]]. When [[webdav|WebDAV protocol]] is selected, you can choose between basic unsecured variant and secure one. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Host name// box is where you type the name, or the IP address, of the server you want to connect to. //Host name// is the only mandatory box that must be filled for a session to open. You can use environment variables in the value with syntax ''%NAME%''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Port number// box lets you specify which port number on the server to connect to. You need to specify it only in rare circumstances, when the server uses non standard protocol.((SSH protocol uses port number 22 by default. FTP protocol uses port number 21 by default. [[ftps|FTPS]] protocol with implicit encryption uses port number 990 by default. WebDAV protocol uses port number 80 by default. Secure WebDAV uses port 443.)) Otherwise WinSCP selected the protocol for you. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Username// box is where you type your account name on the server. If you do not fill the username, you will be [[ui_authenticate#username|prompted for username]] then.((Except for special scenarios, such as authentication-less connection or [[ui_login_authentication#gssapi|GSSAPI authentication]].)) You can use environment variables in the value with syntax ''%NAME%''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The //Password// box is for the password associated with the account. You are advised not to fill it in if you are going to [[session_configuration#site|save the site]]. If you decide to do so nevertheless, do not forget to force password storing on the //[[ui_login_save|Save session as dialog]]//. Also do not fill the password if you are going to use other [[ssh#authentication_in_ssh|authentication method]] (like public key). If you do not fill the password and other authentication methods fail (password authentication has the lowest preference), you will be [[ui_authenticate#password|prompted for password]] then. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With [[ftp|FTP protocol]] you can use //Anonymous login//. It effectively sets the //User name// to ''anonymous'' and //Password// to ''anonymous@example.com''. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you need to configure advanced settings, click //Advanced// button to open [[ui_login_advanced|Advanced Site Settings dialog]]. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Double clicking a site or workspace opens it (as if you have clicked the //Login// button). | ||
| + | |||
| + | To open all sites in a site folder, select the folder and press the //Login// button. | ||
