- | SFTP is mostly operated as subsystem of SSH2. Unlike SCP, SFTP is complete remote filesystem protocol. WinSCP supports version 0 (since 3.4), version 1 (since 3.4), version 2 (since 3.1), [[&sftp3|version 3]] (since 3.0 beta), [[&sftp4|version 4]] (since 3.2) and [[&sftp5|version 5]] (since 3.6.7) of the protocol. Support for version 5 is experimental as no server supporting the version is known and currently does not bring any new functionality. Unlike SCP, for connection with SSH server, you do not need access to shell. Thus it is more independent on remote operation system. | + | SFTP is mostly operated as subsystem of SSH2. SFTP is a |
