πŸ›  Developer Descriptions

WinSCP is a free SFTP and FTP client for Windows that has a lot of users. Also, WinSCP is a powerful tool with many uses that will make you more productive. WinSCP can copy files from a local computer to a remote computer using FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, WebDAV, or S3 as protocols. On the one hand, WinSCP has an easy-to-use graphical user interface. You can choose between a Windows File Explorer look or a tabbed twin-panel interface like Norton commander. On the other hand, advanced users can use.NET assembly or simple batch file scripting to automate WinSCP functions. You will use WinSCP to do everything you normally do with files. You can start editing a file right from WinSCP, either by using the text editor built into WinSCP or by integrating your favourite external text editor. WinSCP doesn't just work with single files; it can also sync your remote and local directories in a number of ways. After connecting to a site, you can choose to save information about the site so you can access it again later. WinSCP can even share site settings with PuTTY, another popular open source tool. WinSCP also works with Pageant (PuTTY's authentication agent) so that public key authentication with SSH can be used fully. Administrators love that WinSCP can run from a configuration file instead of registry entries, which makes it easy to run from removable media. There is free access to a lot of information about WinSCP. This site also has a very active user forum where people can ask for help or suggest new features. WinSCP is available in many languages, including English. Open source software, like WinSCP, is given away for free under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).
