 +By default SFTP has option //Allow SCP fallback// enabled. With the option enabled, WinSCP tries to find SFTP server and when it fails, it initiates SCP protocol. Note that, when fallback is disabled, WinSCP tries harder using non-standard methods to find the SFTP server. It is necessary to allow SFTP on SSH-1 server (read [[requirements#sftp_requirements|SFTP requirements]] for more). You can see the protocol actually used on the [[ui_fsinfo|Server and Protocol Information Dialog]].
