It is a highly recommended application for all types of FTP connections, the consumption of resources on the computer is minimal, files are uploaded to the server in moments, you can update all types of files, from this application without opening the server, only the FTP and the server must be synchronized, where the content is hosted, I love this application because with the others I had a certain problem, when uploading some files, I would not let them upload them due to the type of format they were in, too, I can upload everything I want to my server, without problems.

This application presents a big problem of compatibility, with other operating systems, when only running on windows it limits its use a lot, I usually use Linux and mac, and I can not use this application in these operating systems, whenever I need to connect to my server, FTP with this application I must use windows, lack of commitment on the part of the developers to take this application to other desktop systems, and why not, to mobile systems like androids or iOS, since it would be very helpful, when you do not have a desktop equipment, at hand, and you need to access the server soon.

WinSCP provides easy and simple way to transfer the files from one server to another server in secured manner.
WinSCP also provides user friendly interface to navigate the various folder locations on server
Though WinSCP, accessing log file and debugging the issues are more simpler in real time production environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While performing any critical operations like Delete ,WinSCP doen't specify any warning notification if it indicates alert message in different font (eg: red color) then it useful to avoid mistakes.
If WinSCP provides any user /help guide to understand the softwere how it works for end user perspective is more useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can easily connect to my remote server by remembering username and password. And I will be able to copy, transfer, view, remove, download all the files in the remote system ofcourse based on rights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike is Remove option. Although it is useful, whenever I remove a file I cant get the file back. No recycle bin.... By the way I got solution for this from winscp by settings for recycle bin. But as it is not set these settings by default I lost my file... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about WinSCP is that it is free and open-source software. It will allow us to connect as SFTP clients to another remote machine using the secure SSH protocol, which will greatly facilitate transferring any type of file between two machines. It is available in several languages. It integrates perfectly with Windows operating systems. It supports protocols like SCP and SFTP through SSH encryption. Excellent directory synchronization between two machines in a semi or fully automated manner. Very intuitive graphical interface as it is similar to the classic Windows file explorer. With WinSCP, it is possible to save the configuration in a configuration file instead of in the Windows registry, which makes it easier for us to use it from external storage devices like portable hard drives or USB drives.

The visual aspect of the graphical interface is tremendously outdated and obsolete. Although it is true that it is still very intuitive and transfers can be made very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It User Interface is very cool and simple to use it. any one can use and no extra tanning is required to learn this tool. Simple to make the site backup. Easy to transfer the files remotely without any problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Needs to be more simplified when user is transferring the files form one server to another server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP è molto semplice da installare e configurare. E' possibile instaurare connessioni SFTP in maniera veloce e con possibilità con configurare in maniera dettagliata tutte le opzioni di connessione. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
L'unica cosa che non mi piace è la finestra popup di configurazione che rimane incollata alla user interface dell'utente: trascinandola si sposta anche la finestra sotto, il che è un pò strano. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use. Simple UI. Reliable and secure. Passwords can be stored. Drag and drop is quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
File transfers can be sometimes worst. With large number of files in a remote directory, screen gets freezed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP lets you drag and drop your files between two different Operating System securely and efficiently. You will not need any sort or storage media or any traditional copying methods like copying to pen drive and then connecting the pen drive to the system you want to copy files to and then paste it there. You can use WinSCP to transfer files without any hassle. With WinSCP, you can connect with any remote system using its IP and you can connect via an encrypted channel using Secure Shell (SSH). Once connected you will get an interface with two file explorers from both the Operating SYstems. You will simply need to drag files from one explorer to another.

WinSCP is not really easy to use for laymen. For example, a non-IT person will never have information on IP's and protocols. So for basic usage of this software, a person shall be able to find out the IP of a client machine and then connect it successfully. Reseacrhing and learning this information can become tough at times. WinSCP shall come with some in-built videos that can teach a new person the basics of the software and its usage.

Excellent tool for making ftp connections, files are transferred in quick and easy way, the application is very light way, it suports multitype connections such as FTP, SCP and SFTP. On top of everything it is free platform to make ftp connections and file transfer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No doubt the application is light weight and does not require much space on system, the large file transfer hangs during transfer in such cases you need to abort the process, other than that it works perfectly for me for all the ftp needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
