-	Using WinSCP, it is possible to connect to a [[SSH]] (Secure Shell) server with [[protocols#sftp\|SFTP]] (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or [[protocols#scp\|SCP]] (Secure Copy Protocol) service, mainly to UNIX machines. SFTP is a standard part of SSH-2 package. SCP is a standard part of SSH-1 package. Both protocols can be run even on the latter SSH version. WinSCP supports both SSH-1 and SSH-2. For authentication, the user can use username and password or public key (RSA or DSA). Other supported means of authorization include TIS, Cryptocard and Keyboard-interactive.	+	Using WinSCP, it is possible to connect to a [[SSH]] (Secure Shell) server with [[protocols#sftp\|SFTP]] (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or [[protocols#scp\|SCP]] (Secure Copy Protocol) service, mainly to UNIX machines.

-	To generate a public key file, use the [[&puttygenhelp\|PuTTYgen]] application. Also read how to use the [[ssh#using_public_keys_for_authentication\|Pageant]] (PuTTY's SSH authentication agent) application for public key authentication. You can find links to download these programs in the [[&download\|Download]] section. The installation package of WinSCP already includes these applications.

	The user can specify his/her encryption algorithm preferences. Options are: AES (SSH-2-only), Blowfish, 3DES and DES (SSH-1-only). It is possible to enable compression. A connection can be established through a Proxy (HTTP, SOCKS 4/5 or Telnet).		The user can specify his/her encryption algorithm preferences.
