| + | You may get this message when connecting to a server for following reasons: | ||
| + | * You are trying to use WinSCP for a purpose for which it is not designed. [[requirements|WinSCP needs]] a SSH or FTP server to be installed at the other end (on the machine you want to connect to). In particular, you cannot easily use it to connect to another Windows workstation, since Windows does not have an SSH or FTP server included by default. | ||
| + | * You are trying to use [[protocol]] that the server does not support. Particularly you are trying SFTP/SCP (over SSH), but the server supports FTP; or vice versa. Check selected protocol on [[ui_login_session#protocol_group|login dialog]]. | ||
| + | * The server is running on non-standard port. Please make sure you enter actual port number of [[ui_login_session|login dialog]]. | ||
| + | * You may need to connect through proxy server, but you have not specified one on [[ui_login_proxy|login dialog]]. | ||
| + | * Connection was blocked by firewall. For local firewalls, particularly the one included in Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista, note that the firewalls may not only block the port, but also a particular program (in our case, WinSCP). | ||
