WinSCP is a open source client for microsoft windows.It is also a lean and mean application for file transfer between client and server.The WinSCP uses cryptographical method, integrated in SSH to protect your login details and private inforamation. we can also upload and download files using WinSCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the connection is not encrypted but we it can be encrypted using SSL. but after encrypted connection the data transfer rate will become slow. and the graphical user interface is not so much good as other software have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Win SCP si presenta come un software semplice e funzionale, per questo mi piace. Win SCP si può collegare ai server remoti con i più svariati protocolli di comunicazione di rete e di trasferimento files. Win SCP è anche un prodotto robusto, fa il so dovere e non mostra instabilità o malfunzionamenti. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Win SCP ha anche qualche lato negativo, tra questi sicuramente l'aspetto grafico è uno di quelli da migliorare, infatti la sua interfaccia grafica non è al passo con i più recenti software. Win SCP ha anche lo svantaggio e qui lo dice il nome stesso di essere compatibile con con sistemi operativi Microsoft Windows, dunque i possessori di dispositivi con sistema operatino Mac OS oppure Linux non potranno utilizzare Win SCP a meno di non utilizzare un virtualizzatore.

Parallel download options can be customized on a per-session basis, you can fully obtain fast download speeds (if your bandwidth support that) that you can't obtain with native FTP / SMB client of Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Just like its SSH engine: putty, it does not support legacy RSA key making impossible to connect on SSH resources that doesn't have auto negotation of RSA key type Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP is security for SSH password, public key, and the encryption of Kerberos.
WinSCP is essential for a Windows-specific platform for transferring files across multiple platforms across multiple computers.
Another of the features it will have is to have an enormous variety of options to be able to look at files in just a database quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Managing the stored sessions is so not straightforward, and I must recreate all the session data each time I have used the application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a ton of features i can mention here, since most of the actual work in companies happen on virtual machines, there is a need of tools to manage and use them efficiently, WinSCP is such an alternative, it has a lot of features, some of the best being, ability to save and export profiles and manage them in work-spaces, it also allows users to map network drives and transfer data remotely, The robustness of the tool is shown when you transfer files and there are connectivity issues, winSCP ensures file is transferred accurately, It also preserves user sessions if internet connectivity is lost and saves changes offline to be restored later when connection is up agian.

I dislike the UI of WinSCP, with all the apps/websites using material/attractive User interface, WinSCP's UI feels very old like using a desktop application on Windows 98. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about WinSCP for what I do is that we can transfer files from my one bank virtual desktop to my personal company desktop. For example, my virtual desktop is and Deutsche Bank login, if I need to get it to my personal work desktop, I cannot email it since it is forbidden. So I use WinSCP to outbound the files using the IP server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the server is down and transferring files between the desktops / account is not possible. A lot of the time it states that "peer connection has been timed out." Unfortunately this cannot be a personal fix and has to be escalated to the help desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP portable version can be executed without installing from a USB media and the saved profiles (even the password) are encrypted inside the same portable media Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No parallel connection support on the portable version, slow upload / download of huge files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP is an amazing and a very light in weight tool which can be installed on all Windows and Linux Operating Systems. It allows you to connect to you remote machine on the same network via the IP and Secure Shell (SSH) and you can share the files with the easiness of drag n drop. It is super easy and eradicated your complex procedure of using pen drives or using cloud for transferring the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool does not lack anything in terms of features since I have been using this tool from quite long and even used much products in competition to this tool, but none of them could stand in front of WinSCP. One improvement that can be done in this software is that it can be made a bit more intuitive by adding some animations and themes. That will help the tool to look amazing and change the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can connect to my dev server in seconds. It can manage RSA KEYs also. so its great. Navigation tree is really common, nothing fancy, just old school. everything is clear. Fast to upload files to any server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really don´t dslike anythink. The program is clean, fast and really easy to use. Maybe the UI is not up to date to minimal fancy UIs, but that is also what make it great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is quite pleasant very quick to always use the user interface. Everyone can use this tool and thus no additional tanning is necessary to learn. Straightforward to backup the database. Quick to securely transfer files with little or no issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unless the client moves the files from one server to another one, this needs to be simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
