| - | Since version 3.0, WinSCP supports two secure transfer protocols, SFTP and SCP. Currently, many of the SSH servers support both protocols. Either of them have both advantages and disadvantages. This document contains their comparison to help you to decide, which is most appropriate for your needs. Comparison lists either features that are characteristic to protocol as·is or features that are caused by implementation of protocol in WinSCP. | + | Since version 3.0, WinSCP supports two secure transfer protocols, SFTP and SCP.

| ^ File modification timestamp | Some shell commands are influenced by daylight-saving time. For example, the 'ls' command can return a different time than 'scp'. Thus, after transfer, the timestamp of the file can be different. This causes trouble when comparing directories. | This problem does not emerge. | | ^ File modification timestamp | Some shell commands are influenced by daylight-saving time.
