| SCP is mostly used with SSH-1. SCP is an older protocol but almost universally supported on Unix-like platforms as part of an SSH protocol suite. It is rarely supported on other platforms.

| 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.
