WinSCP Technical Requirements

Using WinSCP, it is possible to connect to a SSH (Secure SHell) server with SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) service, mainly to UNIX machines. SFTP is a standard part of SSH2 package. SCP is a standard part of SSH1 package. Both protocols can be run even on the latter SSH version. WinSCP supports both SSH1 and SSH2. For authentication, the user can use username and password or public key (RSA or DSA). Other supported means of authorization include TIS, Cryptocard and Keyboard-interactive.
