| Protocol itself allows only file transfers in both directions. Other features of WinSCP are realized using common shell commands, like cd, ls, pwd, rm, ln, etc. For this, WinSCP, unlike command-line SCP clients, which allow only file transfers, requires full shell access and permission to execute other commands in addition to scp (see [[requirements]]). For access to non-UNIX operation system, it is necessary to have at least UNIX-like shell. One like that is for example available with [[&opensshwin|OpenSSH for Windows]]. | Protocol itself allows only file transfers in both directions.

| - | ===== SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) ===== | ||

| - | SFTP is mostly operated as subsystem of SSH2. SFTP is a | ||
| - | newer and more modern protocol, designed to perform in a manner | ||
| - | similar to FTP. It is widely supported, but not nearly as universally | ||
| - | so as SCP. | ||

| - | 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. | ||
