| - | Using WinSCP, you can 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. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | SFTP is a standard part of SSH-2 package. SCP is a standard part of SSH-1 package. You can also run both protocols on the latter SSH version. WinSCP supports both SSH-1 and SSH-2. For authentication, you can use user name and password or [[public key]] (RSA or DSA). Other authorization types include TIS, Cryptocard, Keyboard-interactive, and Kerberos. | + | |

| - | For FTP, only basic FTP is supported. Secure alternatives (FTP over SSL) are not supported. Neither are compressed transfers (Zlib). | + | |

| 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.
