I love winscp. It is the one FTP Client that just
feels right. That said, I have a few minor issues
I feel could be addressed:
1. Allowing for the F5 key to be used, windows
convention, for refreshing a folder either local
or remote.
2. There is no way to remove something from the
queue that I have been able to devise.
3. The pause/suspend functionality does not work
very well. I have been able to pause a transfer
but never been able to restart it.
4. Auto-resume does not work. I have tried every
possible configuration but it does not work. It
simply overwrites every file which SUCKS when you
are 250MB into a 300MB upload.
Other than that, I highly recommend this client. I
would give this a 4.5/5 but there are no half star
ratings so a 4/5 it is for now.






Kindly ignore the bug about F5 refreshing, that can be done in the explorer interface. It defaults to the commander interface. That was my fault. The rest of the issues I listed below are still prevelant.
