WinSCP:
In the login window, from the Advanced settings go to “SSH--> Authentication” and tick the boxes “Attempt authentication using Pageant” and “Allow agent forwarding”. Be sure that the file protocol is set to “SCP”.
Note: It is possible that if you try to edit an already saved site, the ssh-agent won’t be recognized. If this is the case, we recommend to create a new site from scratch and configure it accordingly. The new site can then be saved and will keep working.
Note: In certain cases, we noted that the procedure may not work at first try, and you will get an error at login even if everything is in order. In most cases, a simple reboot of your workstation solves the problem and the issue will not occur again.
