	===== [[sftp]] SFTP Requirements =====		===== [[sftp]] SFTP Requirements =====
	For SFTP, the only requirement beyond the server requirements above is to run SFTP on the server. It is best to run it as a SSH-2 subsystem. If you select SFTP-only on the login screen and the SFTP subsystem is not found, WinSCP will try to find the SFTP server in some common directories (''/usr/lib/sftp-server'', ''/usr/local/lib/sftp-server'', etc.). This way, it is possible to use SFTP even with SSH-1, which does not support subsystems.		For SFTP, the only requirement beyond the server requirements above is to run SFTP on the server.
