| On start-up WinSCP will by default clear all aliases on commands it uses. This is done to avoid unexpected behavior (e.g. alias ''rm'' to ''rm -i''). If there are no aliases influencing command behavior, this feature can be disabled by unticking //Clear aliases//. This setting speeds up the login process. | On start-up WinSCP will by default clear all aliases on commands it uses. This is done to avoid unexpected behavior (e.g. alias ''rm'' to ''rm -i'').

| 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 [[sftp|SFTP protocol]] too. | WinSCP uses ''scp'' command to perform the transfer.
