| To transfer files, ''scp1'' is used (it is called from within ''scp''). If only ''scp2'' is allowed on your server, check the //[[ui_login_scp#other_options|Use scp2 with scp1 compatibility]]// option on the [[ui_login_scp|SCP/Shell tab]] in the Login dialog. | 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, you nust do the following.

| For its operation, WinSCP needs several commands: ''alias'', ''cd'', ''chgrp'', ''chmod'', ''chown'', ''echo'', ''groups'', ''ls'', ''mkdir'', ''mv'', ''pwd'', ''scp'', ''rm'', ''ln'', ''unalias'' and ''unset''. These commands have to be placed in the path and user must have sufficient permissions to execute them. WinSCP expects "standard" behaviour of these commands. You can avoid needing these commands by not using some of WinSCP functions (''mkdir'', ''chown'', ''ln'', etc.) or by changing some configuration options (''alias'', ''groups'', ''unalias'' and ''unset''). | For its operation, WinSCP needs several commands: ''alias'', ''cd'', ''chgrp'', ''chmod'', ''chown'', ''echo'', ''groups'', ''ls'', ''mkdir'', ''mv'', ''pwd'', ''scp'', ''rm'', ''ln'', ''unalias'' and ''unset''.

This is done to avoid unexpected behaviour. | + | Just after establishing the connection with server, all [[ui_login_scp#other_options|aliases on the above commands are cleared]]. This helps avoid unexpected behavior. |
| 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.
