start a WinSCP session directly into the current directory

standin - Mon 27/05/2013 04:44:00 CEST +0200

The page said it could be done by a bash function.

winscp() { echo -ne \"\\033];__ws:${PWD}\\007\"; }

but I don't know where to put it, could someone help me? thanks in advance.

If bash is your login-shell put the line in ~/.bash_profile. After this logout and re login or source the file: . ~/.bash_profile. Ready. Now you can start WinSCP: write winscp in the kitty-window ...

I added the line as written into my user ~/.profile on an ubuntu 14.04 host i am connecting to from windows
sourced it after logging in with
. ./profile
but when I type winscp in the kitty window connected to this host, it just gives two quotes.
If i hit run winscp from the kitty menu, it still logs into the remote location in original location, not the one where i changed to

Also is there any way to have the drag and drop function put the file into the current directory instead of the root ? It's a great time saving feature to save having to open a file transfer but only if it can put the file in the right place.

Thanks

Hi,

This can be done very easy:

- Create one "User Script" with this command.
- To "paste" (=execute) the winscp description call to the command.
- Then inside your shell type "winscp".

And how to crete the script in the Portable version?

- Add this file to your "\Commands\WinSCP-Bash" with this content:
WinSCP-Bash\winscp() { echo -ne "3];__ws:${PWD}{CONTENT}7"; }\

- Then the script is available in your menu.

Regards.
