How to
Backup the Preferences
On startup, WinSCP is looking:
- first for an INI file. The path is given with the /ini command options of is the directory from which WinSCP is started.
- If it does not find one, it looks for presence of its key in registry (Default).
- If it does not find that either, it creates an INI file in the default location.
To be able to relocate your INI file, you have:
- to export an INI file in your backup location
- to change the WinScp shortcut command and add the /INI switch.. For instance:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /ini=D:\myBackupDir\WinScp\WinSCP.ini

- Go to Preferences
- And create a new Transfer Settings without the settings of the file timestamp
