What do you dislike about WinSCP?

You have to be aware of the files that are deleted since there is no recycle bin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

I think you should use WinSCP as it is free of charge and will allow you to easily transfer files to your servers and in an organized way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WinSCP solving and how is that benefiting you?

WinSCP allows us to manage our clients' websites from our computer. It is a tool that facilitates our work, since all the files enter a queue and are loaded simultaneously. Previously we used an SSH client but we wasted a lot of time typing the commands. We were also uploading files through the website but the upload was very slow.
