WinSCP won't show file transfer progress (percentage, meter)

Unread post by Captain FPGA »

There was an incident with this FTP client before that had to be dealt with. Little did I suspect another issue at hand. How to restore the transfer progress at the bottom?

Already hit Options->Queue->Show but that doesn't get me the progress meter.

I have Filezilla, been using it for Xbox. All the same, I like a workable WinSCP. I want to have my cake and eat it too. :lol:

Think so.

I still get disappearing progress meter. For some reason those two settings in your image aren't in commands they're in options, at least on mine.

Oh, you are using the commander style. I use the explorer style, so that's why all the options look different I think. I like WinSCP in explorer mode because then it's just like another windows file explorer being open :P

Yeah, mine is set to commander. That's odd although I set it to Explorer mode the view option doesn't pop-up.

I'll try a re-install.

Ok on reinstall the view appears only in explorer mode. But that didn't do it.

There was an option I checked off on the last install that said "transfer background" or some shit. Once I checked that off, the progress panel with file name and percentage appeared! The only thing missing was the meter. I thought WinSCP showed a green meter during transfer. Maybe I'm just misremembering.

If there is a setting I'm missing let me know.

It does show a green meter, I'm not sure why it's not showing up for you. Weird! At least it has the time estimate still.

The transfer panel (queue) will only show files being transferred in the the background. I don't recall that panel having green progress meters, but the dialog box that pops up for transfers that are not in the background does show green progress meters. Now smaller files may not show it because they transfer too fast, sometimes you may not even get that dialog box to pop up.
If you have "Transfer on background by default" checked, then that dialog box will not come up.
