WinSCP Portable - Integration with Putty

Readme.md

This tries to fix the annoying need to launch Putty prior to using it with WinSCP portable. Both, by the way, are excellant pieces of code and I am in debt to their author(s).

• http://seb.roth.free.fr/Tools/WinSCPPortable/Other/Source/PuTTYPortableLinkerU.nsi

Make the changes as suggested in the last comment of the first link

Edit PuTTYPortableLinkerU.nsi

Insert Line after line 78 before:
FindProcDLL::FindProc "PuTTYPortable.exe"
StrCmp $R0 "1" GetPassedParameters WarnAnotherInstance

after:
FindProcDLL::FindProc "PuTTYPortable.exe"
StrCmp $R0 "0" GetPassedParameters
StrCmp $R0 "1" GetPassedParameters WarnAnotherInstance

Recompile NSIS and save PortableApps\WinSCPPortable\App\winscp\PuTTYPortableLinker.exe

Done.

You can get the nsis compiler from

• http://portableapps.com/apps/development/nsis_portable [use the unicode one]

Just load the edited nsi file into the compiler window and let it do its thing. You'll need PuTTYPortableLinker.ico as well - can be found via google, or base64 decode the string below and save as PuTTYPortableLinker.ico using a online tool such as:

Update.md

** PuttyPortable Linker didn't work for me - below is a replacement technique **

Now recompiling winscpportable launcher:

Changes to WinSCPPortableU.nsi

1. Add to ;=== Include

!include StrRep.nsh

(You may need to copy the StrRep.nsh to the appropriate plugin directory of nsis)

2. comment out line that restores putty as default external application

    ;WriteINIStr "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\winscp.ini" "Configuration\Interface" "PuttyPath" "$1"
   

3. Compile this

4. Launch winSCP and change exeternal application choice to

(Browse to) PortableApps\KiTTYPortable\KiTTYPortable.exe -cmd "cd ""!/""" !U@!@

The important part is documented on the winscp site about adding the '-cmd "cd ""!/""" !U@!@' to the end
