| - | Using WinSCP, it is possible to connect to a [[SSH]] (Secure Shell) server with [[protocols#sftp|SFTP]] (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or [[protocols#scp|SCP]] (Secure Copy Protocol) service, mainly to UNIX machines. SFTP is a standard part of SSH-2 package. SCP is a standard part of SSH-1 package. Both protocols can be run even on the latter SSH version. WinSCP supports both SSH-1 and SSH-2. For authentication, the user can use user name and password or [[public key]] (RSA or DSA). Other supported means of authorization include TIS, Cryptocard and Keyboard-interactive. | + | Using WinSCP, it is possible to connect to a [[SSH]] (Secure Shell) server with [[protocols#sftp|SFTP]] (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or [[protocols#scp|SCP]] (Secure Copy Protocol) service or to a [[protocols#ftp|FTP]] (File Transfer Protocol) server. |
