Re: scp -1 invalid argument

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

Re: scp -1 invalid argument

When I try to transfer files I get the following error:
Usage: scp [-pqrvBC46] [-F config] [-S program] [-P port]
[-c cipher] [-i identity] [-o option]
[[user@]host1:]file1 [...] [[user@]host2:]file2

Can some one please help on this?

Re: scp -1 invalid argument

Turn off "Use scp2 with scp1 compatibility" option on "Shell" tab of login dialog.
