Does Robo-FTP allow for making a connection using SCP protocol?
Robo-FTP does not support SCP. SCP is generally considered obsolete and is disabled on most servers due to known security issues.
However, Robo-FTP supports SFTP.
Any modern SSH server that supports SCP also supports SFTP. There is nothing you can do with SCP that you can not do just as easily with SFTP. Also, SFTP is more secure.
Therefore, under any circumstances where you have been given the requirement of performing an SCP file transfer you can be confident that Robo-FTP will be able to complete the task using SFTP.
