WinSCP is a free, open-source file manager and transfer client for Windows supporting SFTP, FTP, FTPS, SCP, S3, WebDAV, and local-to-local transfers. It offers a graphical interface, scripting, a command-line interface, and a .NET assembly for automation.

Use cases

  • transfer files to an sftp server from windows
  • upload files to an ftp or ftps server
  • synchronize directories between local machine and remote server
  • automate scheduled file transfers with scripts or .NET
  • connect to amazon s3 or other object storage
  • edit remote files over ssh
  • manage website deployment over scp or webdav

When to choose

  • you need a free GUI file transfer client on Windows
  • you want one tool covering SFTP, FTP, SCP, WebDAV, and S3
  • you need scriptable or .NET-automatable secure file transfers
  • you want PuTTY-compatible SSH key and site management

When to avoid

  • you need a cross-platform or Linux-native client
  • you need a headless server-side transfer daemon rather than a desktop tool
  • you require strict GPL-style licensing clarity (license is custom non-asserted)
