 +As the SCP protocol implements file transfers only, WinSCP must use other means to implement the additional functionality (like directory listing). WinSCP uses Unix-like shell commands to do that. This in turn means that when using SCP protocol, it can connect to servers that run Unix-like or its emulation only ((e.g. Cygwin on Windows. See [[faq_openssh_win|FAQ]] to learn how to use WinSCP with Windows server running OpenSSH on Cygwin.)).

To transfer files, ''scp1'' is used (it is called from within ''scp''). If only ''scp2'' is allowed on your server, check the //[[ui_login_scp#other_options|Use scp2 with scp1 compatibility]]// option on the [[ui_login_scp|SCP/Shell tab]] in the Login dialog.
