I have a favourite explicitly set up to not save the login information (username and password) for an SSH connection. This is important because the user is root for a server. I log in fine (after confirming that I want have the password apply to the session only). I initiate a file transfer (drag and drop). The transfer gets put in the transfer queue and then goes into a permanent retry loop. Now, if I save the login information as part of the favourite, the transfer works. Obviously, in the former case the file transfer is being executed in a different session where it does not have access to the login information. My question is why was I not queried for the login information for the file transfer session? Or, alternatively, is there a way to set it from the properties menu from the transfer line item? Or, even better, is there a way to set up the login parameters temporarily for a number of transfers at one time? For example, I may have a number of files queued for transfer and I want to select all (or some subset) of them and mark them to use the same login parameters for their transfer instance.
