| ^ Directory operations | Recursive operations with directories (deletion, permissions change), can be done with a single command. Thus they are quick. | Recursive operations with directories (deletion, permissions change), must be performend separately for each file. Thus operation can take a long time, especially for directories with large number of files. | | ^ Directory operations | Recursive operations with directories (deletion, permissions change), can be done with a single command.

For example it is not possible to execute "su root";. | Unsupported. Since version 3.6.7 WinSCP can open secondary shell session to execute the arbitrary command even if the main session is SFTP. | | + | ^ Execution of arbitrary command | It is possible from Console dialog.

| - | ^ 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.
