Great, thank you, definitely something to consider.

PuTTY Pageant has built-in security features aimed at preventing the keys to be stolen by malicious software. I do not know if winssh-pageant matches that (even if I assume that it is trustworthy software on its own).

No problem.
Can you expand on the "use with caution"?
I did have some reservations about installing it initially as I didn't really know what it was doing behind the scenes.

Thanks

Thanks Martin,
Just discovered this, which seems to work well and solve the problem.

WinSCP supports PuTTY agent (pagent) only.

The request for support of OpenSSH agent is is being tracked here:
https://winscp.net/tracker/1682
You can vote for it there.

Hi, I'm new to WinSCP, from Filezilla.
Just wondering if it's possible to use WinSCP with Windows OpenSSH agent instead of using Pageant? I have it working with Git nicely so I don't need to enter a passphrase, is this possible with WinSCP?
I've done a bit of searching around but not had much luck so far.

Thanks
