What do you like best about WinSCP?

You just drag and drop the files you want to upload. I couldn't be simpler. It is a very simple program after all performing a simple task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

It hides the password which is annoying and there is no way to reveal it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Getting web files up onto the server very quickly and easily which of course saves a lot of time. Do I really need to explain why you need an ftp program? While this is the best I have come across and I have used it for several years it really does perform one simple task. It performs it very well though.

Ok, evidently I do. So, FTP stands for file transfer protocol. you need an ftp program if you want to upload a file from your hard drive onto a server in another location. These files might be web pages for example or pdf files. Often you upload them onto a server so they can be displayed and accessed by the general public.

WInSCP does this very well, er quickly and the interface is simple, easy to work out, intuitive, very very quick to work out what you need to do so it requires no training and it save multiple sites and logins for ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WinSCP?

I like WinSCP for different reasons:

1. It is an easily downloadable software with a very intuitive interface.

2. It has support for SFTP, FTP, WebDav, Amazon S3 and SCP protocols.

3. It is possible to create groups to save data from different websites, in case you want to carry out future sessions.

4. I can customize it to show two panels or just one.

5. I can integrate it with applications like PuTTY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

I have no negative comments about WinSCP, it is free and easy to use software. I would like it to be available on platforms other than Windows, for example Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

A free software, with a friendly interface and with different protocols to connect remotely. Of course, I recommend WinSCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With WinSCP I can manage the files on our organization's website easily. I just need to enter the account details provided by the hosting service to access the entire directory of the website. Also, I can save the data so I don't have to enter it in a future session. The best thing is that I can just drag and drop the files from the local folder to the server folder, without having to access the folders in the directory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WinSCP?

It's a highly recommended program for all types of FTP connections, the usage of tools on the pc is minimal, documents have been uploaded to the host in minutes, you can upgrade all types of information, from that program without opening the machine, just the FTP and the host has to be dispersed, where the information is hosted, and I really like this program because using others I had a particular problem, when downloading any files, I wouldn't permit them to upload them because of the kind of format they had been inside, also, I could upload all I wish for my server, without any difficulties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

This program presents a massive problem of compatibility, together with other operating systems, when just working on windows it restricts its usage a good deal, I usually use Linux and mac, and I can't use this program in those operating systems, when I want to link to my machine, FTP for this program I have to use windows, lack of dedication on the part of the programmers to take this program to other desktop programs, and why not to cellular systems such as androids or iOS, because it'd be beneficial, if you don't own a desktop gear, in hand, and you want to get into the server shortly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

It costs nothing, and with this program, you may create all sorts of FTP, SFTP relations, transfer any files edit them simple, it is free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Due for this program I will quickly move all sorts of documents from windows to my servers, at a fast manner, and without needing to immediately access the server, everything I could do from this application, which lets me operate more straightforwardly and quickly, because I could edit the files in my pc, and upgrade them directly into the host.

What do you like best about WinSCP?

In base alla mia esperienza posso confermare che WinSCP è veremante semplice da installare e configurare. COnsente di instaurare connessioni SFTP in maniera rapida e dà la possibilità di configurare in maniera dettagliata tutte le opzioni di connessione. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

L'interfaccia utente ha come unica pecca la finestra popup di configurazione: quando è aperta, rimane praticamente incollata al resto dell'interfaccia grafica sottostante, come se non fosse effettivamente un popup. Quello che succede è che se si trascina questa dinestra si sposta anche la finestra sotto, il che è effettivamente molto strano. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

E' una buona soluzione se si cerca un client SFTP gratuito e ben fatto Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
