Explore SFTP sites

Post by tjblow »

I use Bestsync for a number of SFTP transfers. My question is I tried to "Explore" the folders from within BestSync main window and the SFTP client I use, WINSCP was not available. I did not get a message nor did it get a winscp startup, naturally. I can not find in the documentation that a WINSCP like application is REQUIRED to be installed to use this functionality.
Also I see when I use the EXPLORE folder for an SFTP connection, that I have to enter a password to access it, even though in WINSCP I have a session to the same server set for a public/private key authentication. BestSync does not use the predefined sessions in WINSCP? Can it?
Using versions 9.0.6.2 and 9.1.1.2 of Bestsync on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2008 respectfully.

BestSync is independent with WinSCP, it can not use the session of WinSCP.
Please input the login account in the folder browser of BestSync to access the SFTP server.
