Hi folks and thanks for the awesome (free!) software.
I have one question or feature request. I'm using winscp scripted from .bat to make backups (synchronize) over SFTP from server to the local workstation. If I reboot or shutdown Windows while the Winscp background process is running, I get this annoying "Windows is waiting for application to close", and the comp never shuts down if left unattended.
Is there a known solution or workaround for this? If not, could we pwease pwease get this changed in upcoming non-beta 4.2.x? :)
I tried this in the GUI:
- Open a connection
- Tell Windown to reboot
- When asked "Terminate winscp?", check box "Never ask me again" and click Yes.
But unfortunately this did not help. Although I have a faint feeling that it helped in v4.1.9, but I can't use it with my server due to UTF8-issue.
Thank you!
Some details:
- Precompiled 4.2.1 beta portable executable.
- Windows XP SP2
Here's the .bat:
start /d d:\sami\backup winscp421.exe /script=backup_blue_script.txt
And here's my batch script:
option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open shiro
cd /mnt/everest/backup/
synchronize local -criteria=both -delete D:\Sami\zzz\ zzz
exit
