-WinSCP offers unique feature to execute command on remote server as with regular SSH terminal client. However as it does not implement the terminal fully, there are some limitations. Particularly, you cannot execute commands that require terminal emulation ((Such commands will refuse to execute with error message like "Error opening terminal", "No TTY available", "stdin: is not a tty" or "Couldn't open /dev/tty for reading".)) or user input. ((If you happen to execute command that requires user input, WinSCP will eventually timeout waiting for command to finish and you will need to reconnect your session.))+WinSCP offers unique feature to execute command on remote server as with regular terminal client.

-Basically the feature is supported only for [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]]. With [[protocols#sftp|SFTP]] you can still use the feature by opening [[shell_session|separate shell session]], which in fact takes place automatically for you.+Basically the feature is supported only for [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]].
