| WinSCP uses ''scp'' command to perform the transfer. On some SSH servers, particularly ssh.com, the ''scp'' may be a link to ''scp2'' command. The ''scp2'' is in fact SFTP server, that WinSCP cannot talk to in SCP mode. Check //Use scp2 with scp1 compat.// to make WinSCP try to force the ''scp'' command to use really the SCP protocol (using ''-1'' option). Note that if the server supports ''scp2'', it probably supports [[protocols#sftp_ssh_file_transfer_protocol|SFTP protocol]] too. | WinSCP uses ''scp'' command to perform the transfer.

| - | The //Server timezone offset// allows user to counterweight time difference between [[timestamp|timestamp]] of remote file shown in directory listing and timestamp set on downloaded file, and vice versa. The difference is caused by fact that during transfer ''scp'' command usually uses UTC time format, while ''ls'' command may display time in local (for server) time format. The time difference can be negative. For example if the timestamps of remote files are two hours ahead of local files, set the option to -2 hours. Read about other issues with [[timestamp|timestamps]]. | ||
