prikryl,

I second meierhans' idea. My school's servers only have scp2. is there any plan to support scp2 in the next release?

Sure, you're right. By the way, what is difference between scp2 and scp1? I don't know of any scp2 client.

I am not sure why WinSCP insists on sending scp .... -f ....
but I can identify that -f specifyier as triggering scp2 only servers to try in vain to find scp1.

What is the problem about using scp1?

You must have scp1 binary in path on your server in order to use WinSCP.

scp .... -i ... would look more hopeful if WinSCP could cope with the result.

Problems while copying files

Hi, I just installed WinSCP and tried to copy files from a remote UNIX-Server to my local PC (Win XP).
I got following written in the Logging-File:

< WinSCP: this is begin-of-file
. Sending NULL.
! scp: warning: Executing scp1 compatibility.
! scp: FATAL: Executing ssh1 in compatibility mode failed (Check that scp1 is in your PATH).
< WinSCP: this is end-of-file:255

Does anybody know this problem?
