| - | You should normally leave this at the default of //2//. As well as having fewer features, the older SSH-1 protocol is no longer developed, has many known cryptographic weaknesses, and is generally not considered to be secure. WinSCP's protocol 1 implementation is provided mainly for compatibility, and is no longer being enhanced. | ||

| - | If a server offers both versions, prefer //2//. If you have some server or piece of equipment that only talks SSH-1, select //1// here, and do not treat the resulting connection as secure. | ||
| - | |||
| - | WinSCP will not automatically fall back to the other version of the protocol if the server turns out not to match your selection here; instead, it will put up an error message and abort the connection. This prevents an active attacker downgrading an intended SSH-2 connection to %%SSH-1%%. ((&puttydoccite)) | ||
