I miss WinSCP

Post by richb »

I been using Salamander 3 64-bit since December. I don't really miss Eroiica viewer, because the quality was pretty bad so I didn't use it.

But, I DO miss the WinSCP plug-in. I know it's simple to install WinSCP.exe and launch via the user menu. But unfortunately you can't get WinSCP to launch with a specified local directory (ie. the directory of the current Salamander tab). So, one for the wish list.. either bring back the WinSCP plug-in, or provide some way to launch WinSCP starting at the specified directory.

According to this Czech post about 64-bit WinSCP plugin, the main roadblock in porting the plugin to 64-bit Salamander is gone, but there's no ETA for the plugin at the moment.

As for the capability to launch WinSCP with specified local directory, I have tried it before a few times and couldn't come up with a way to do it. However, it was a while back and I didn't spend much time on it, so maybe it's possible. You should have more luck if you visit the WinSCP Forums and look for the answer there. If you happen to find a way, I'd be happy if you posted it here, too.

Yes, we miss it too. We hope Martin Prikryl will convert WinSCP to x64 platform.

You could use x86 process to work with WinSCP and proxy x64 spl plugin that uses IPC to connect to this process

PS this technique could be probably used to support other x86 plugins

We are using this technique in PictView plugin and it could be used for the Eroiica Viewer, but for WinSCP plugin it would be too complicated.

Any update on this? It looks like WinSCP was finally able to compile 64 bit version using the latest C++ Builder?

I would love to have this plugin back in the 64 bit Salamander!

Looking at this thread, I'm afraid the WinSCP x64 version is not for tomorrow :-((

Would you suggest or implement an alternative?

Thanks,

It looks like the win scp developer just posted recently and it sounds like he is working on 64 bit
