Hmm... this question comes up every now and then.
The answer is because JXplorer has no 'master password cache', so if
you were able to store the password, anyone who can access your
machine has access to all the directories you have access to.
Because JX is used in defense and finance, this was felt to be an
unacceptable security risk.
Of course if you're using it at home to hack around with directories
(as I am) this is indeed very annoying.
However, while a particular instance of JXplorer is running, it
*should* cache passwords; there's a setting in jxconfig.txt that
should read:
jxplorer.cache.passwords=true
... you might want to check that this is on.

Hi Chris...
I have the following question..
Why can't you store passwords in the Windows version?
Every time I have to reconnect I have to type in the passwords, it
is very annoying...
