| - | With [[protocols#sftp_ssh_file_transfer_protocol|SFTP protocol]] this can take considerable time as the change must be made for each file specially. With [[protocols#scp_secure_copy_protocol|SCP protocol]] the change is made once for each selected file or directory only, so it can be much quicker. However as consequence WinSCP will not be able to keep some properties, especially permissions, of files in subdirectories unchanged, when you request it. | + | With [[protocols#sftp|SFTP]] and [[protocols#ftp|FTP]] protocols this can take considerable time as the change must be made for each file specially.
