| - | //SCP/Shell tab// allows user to configure shell specific options. Mostly it helps WinSCP to modify remote environment to match its [[requirements#scp_requirements|requirements]]. The options are mainly used when working with [[protocols|SCP protocol]]. Even if you are using [[protocols|SFTP protocol]], some of the options are made available for you, in case you are using some feature that require [[shell_session|separate shell session]]. | + | //SCP/Shell tab// allows user to configure shell specific options.

| WinSCP also clears set of environment variables know to influence the format of directory listing. These are: ''LANG'', ''LANGUAGE'', ''LC_CTYPE'', ''LC_COLLATE'', ''LC_MONETARY'', ''LC_NUMERIC'', ''LC_TIME'', ''LC_MESSAGES'' and ''LC_ALL''. If no such variable is set, untick //Clear national variables//.

| - | WinSCP uses ''scp'' command to perform the transfer. On some SSH servers, particularly ssh.com, the ''scp'' may be a link to ''scp2'' command. The ''scp2'' is in fact SFTP server, that WinSCP cannot talk to in SCP mode. Check //Use scp2 with scp1 compat.// to make WinSCP try to force the ''scp'' command to use really the SCP protocol (using ''-1'' option). Note that if the server supports ''scp2'', it probably supports [[protocols#sftp_ssh_file_transfer_protocol|SFTP protocol]] too. | + | WinSCP uses ''scp'' command to perform the transfer.
