| - | //SCP/Shell tab// allows user to configure shell specific options. Mostly it helps WinSCP to modify remote environment to match its [[requirements#scp_requirements|requirements]]. The options are mainly used when working with [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]]. Even if you are using [[protocols#sftp|SFTP protocol]], some of the options are made available for you, in case you are using some feature that require [[shell_session|separate shell session]]. ((When [[ui_login_session#protocol|fallback]] to [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]] occurs, all options on the tab, including the disabled ones, are used. In case you need to modify some of the disabled options, make sure you explicitly select SCP protocol on the [[ui_login_session|Session tab]].)) | + | //SCP/Shell tab// allows user to configure shell specific options.

| WinSCP also clears set of environment variables know to influence the format of directory listing. These are: ''LANG'', ''LANGUAGE'', ''LC_CTYPE'', ''LC_COLLATE'', ''LC_MONETARY'', ''LC_NUMERIC'', ''LC_TIME'', ''LC_MESSAGES'' and ''LC_ALL''. If no such variable is set, untick //Clear national variables//. This setting speeds up the login process. | WinSCP also clears set of environment variables know to influence the format of directory listing.

| - | 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|SFTP protocol]] too. | + | WinSCP uses ''scp'' command to perform the transfer.
