You can come and go from an individual login configuration, and leave Pageant running, with your private key(s) loaded. You launch the agent separately, navigate to the private key file and, if applicable provide the associated passphrase. However, if you have incorporated a passphrase for added security, you will have to provide this value every time you attempt access, because WinSCP can not save this value within a Stored Session.

During this one-time login configuration process, you simply navigate to the private key file on your local system and include it in the configuration. You can incorporate the key while setting the Login Configuration, or you can incorporate the PuTTY “Pageant” agent to call out the private key. WinSCP offers two options when incorporating the private key file for access. Note: When performed on NetStorage, reput will always result in a full upload.
