Transfer Problem with Plugin WinSCP

Hi all,

i got a problem with the WinSCP Plugin, which I wanted to use for transferring files from one linux-server to another, both remotely.
I do open left and right pane,both with WinSCP Plugin - that works well.
Then, when I press F5 on any file of any pane the following message will pop up:

Plugin cannot work with path 'scp://root@xx.xx.xx.xx/data'.

What I am doing wrong? Transferring files via command line works with scp. Maybe a missing cert or something?

Thank you very much in advance.
Oliver

I am not absolutely sure, but I believe that "FXP" between 2 SCP connections is nor supported by the plug-in.
I believe that this questions has been already answered in the forum. Just search.

Yes, unfortunately such operation is not supported.

thank you for answers.

FXP needs also special settings on the two servers, I tried that before and gave up.
But I actually do not use FXP, but SCP, that's just like a cp, but secured (like SSL, or HTTPS for web).

Anyway thanks, I will search the forum again.
