When I try to SSH into my cluster, there are two stages. So I have to enter the password twice to go to my home directory using SSH in a Linux terminal or PuTTY.
But when I try to use WinSCP, I get these errors:
Trying SFTP:
Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
Trying SCP:
Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).
How can I bypass this problem?

Server Requirements Using WinSCP, you can connect to an SSH (Secure Shell) server with SFTP ( SSH File Transfer Protocol) or SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) service, to an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, HTTP server with WebDAV service or store system with S3 protocol support.
The OpenSSH includes demons and utilities like SFTP, an FTP replacement to securely copy files between computers, SCP, a substitute for RCP, and Deamon (sshd), the program for the SSH client. OpenSSH is the recommended path to take if you are configuring a dedicated SFTP server.
In WinSCP I just changed the File protocol option from "SFTP" to "SCP" and file transfer is started working now.
