===== File Operations ===== ===== File Operations =====
-WinSCP can do all basic operations with files, such as [[task_download|downloading]] and [[task_upload|uploading]]. It also allows you to [[task_rename|rename]] files and folders, [[task_create_directory|create new folders]], [[task_properties|change properties]] of files and folders, and [[task_link|creating symbolic links and shortcuts]].+WinSCP can do all basic operations with files, such as [[:task_download|downloading]] and [[:task_upload|uploading]].

One of two selectable program interfaces allows the user to manage files even on the local computer. One of two selectable program interfaces allows the user to manage files even on the local computer.
===== Connection to Remote Computer ===== ===== Connection to Remote Computer =====
-Using WinSCP, it is possible to connect to a [[ssh|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|SSH (Secure Shell)]] server with [[:protocols#sftp|SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)]] or [[:protocols#scp|SCP (Secure Copy Protocol)]] service, mainly to UNIX machines.

You may want to change your [[:ui_pref_interface|preference]] later.
-If you are using WinSCP for the first time, you may wish to select the [[ui_explorer|Explorer-like interface]] as it should be familiar to any Windows user. However if you are used to the concept of Norton Commander, used by several contemporary file managers (Total Commander, FAR, Servant Salamander), choose this one. [[ui_commander|Norton Commander interface]] is primarily focused on easy keyboard control. You can use it without ever touching mouse. One who is used to it can perform the operations much faster.+If you are using WinSCP for the first time, you may wish to select the [[:ui_explorer|Explorer-like interface]] as it should be familiar to any Windows user.
