| 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.

| 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. | 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.
