| + | * With SCP protocol it may be theoretically possible. However it has many drawbacks. It would require not only major changes in WinSCP, but also many extensive configuration changes on both servers to allow authenticate on the second server from the first one (note that it would not be possible to use password authentication). So practically it would not have any advantage for most users. | ||
