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)
