 ====== WinSCP ======
-WinSCP is a WebDAV client on Windows that can be configured to access the RDMS for up- and downloads of files. For the other functionalities of the system such as user or project management, please refer to the [[rdms:webapp|RDMS WebApp]].
+**!!Attention!!**
+**Due to updates to WinSCP, the last working version that uses WebDAV to connect to the RDMS is WinSCP v6.3.7. If you are not able to see the folders inside your Home Drive, you can try to downgrade WinSCP to the last working version. Because of recent security concerns, however, we advise switching to [[rdms:access:windows:cyberduck|Cyberduck]] to connect to the RDMS.**
