-To transfer files, ''scp1'' is used (it is called from within ''scp'').

For correct functionality, it is necessary to satisfy a few conditions. The ''bash'' shell is recommended for working with WinSCP. If your default shell doesn't work with WinSCP, you can make WinSCP use [[ui_login_scp#shell|other shell]]. For correct functionality, it is necessary to satisfy a few conditions.

Another precondition is that the output of all commands is in English. This mostly concerns names of months in directory listings (''ls -la''). Because of this, WinSCP [[ui_login_scp#other_options|clears all user variables that govern command output]] after login. If command output also reflects some other server settings, it may be necessary to change this before WinSCP can be used. Another precondition is that the output of all commands is in English.

-The last necessary condition is the proper output of ''ls -la'' command, which is supposed to include file group name! If the group name is absent, it can be temporarily added using the //[[ui_login_scp#directory_listing|Alias LS to display group name]]// option on the //SCP tab// in the Login dialog. WinSCP will attempt detect support for ''%%--full-time%%'' switch of the ''ls'' command. If the detection causes you problems, you can [[ui_login_scp#directory_listing|disable]] it.+The last necessary condition is the proper output of ''ls -la'' command, which is supposed to include file group name!
