SCP allows server side copy commands, that's why I think people want it's support rather than SFTP. Server side copy is very usefull for NAS's which has intenal and USB discs for example.

This is a pity.

It would be great if you could edit your Eclipse Java, C++ or PHP projects directly on the server.

We built SftpDrive (<invalid hyperlink removed by admin>) so it can map an SFTP server to a network drive in Windows. We support Eclipse and Dreamweaver and, of course, Windows Explorer (among lots of other applications). It can also stream movies and music over SFTP (if your connection is fast enough). But we only support SFTP over SSH-2, not SCP over SSH-1.

I was surprised to hear that some people are only interested in SCP over SSH-1 support. I thought that SFTP was generally preferred, since even the WinSCP protocols page seems to prefer SFTP. Also, SSH.com (<invalid hyperlink removed by admin>) recommends dropping SSH-1 servers for security reasons. And all SSH-2 servers (including OpenSSH) all support SFTP by default.

Anyway, if you have an SSH-2 server, give it a whirl. Let me know if you like it.
