The UI is very intuitive and easy to use and supports SFTP, FTP and other protocols. It also has a drag and drop interface for easily sendingand receiving files from a web server. I really appreciate how it doesn't automatically time-out after a few minutes because even doing web development and code writing, I am constantly making changes as uploading to serve and switching back and forth between software. I also appreciate how it remembers the local and host directories used last. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At this point there is nothing I dislike about the program. It does everything I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a very light and portable software along with a great Graphical User Interface. Moreover it is a open source software which is available free of cost.
It is also very easy to navigate between files and folders using this software. It also have drag and drop feature which makes it very easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only its session got expire very soon. Apart from this I did not see any drawback with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can just drag and drop the files from the local to remote and vice-versa without any tedious process and the change is reflected in the server real quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Something that I dislike about WinSCP is probably too many pop-ups for even very small processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very easy to use, user-friendly and extremely fast speed made me a fan of this excellent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing specifically I don't like about this tool since I started using this 5 yrs ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The easiness of use. No doubt about the ease of use of WinSCP. The file transfer is just drag and drop like normal windows and can be done from one server to another. We can save the sessions, including passwords, this saves us a lot of time in logging in each and every time. We can compare directories to check for missing files, this is useful when the directories are huge and copying will take up a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only issue with WinSCP is that shell commands do not work in this. And also it is not available for linux and mac. And in a rare occasion while copying file, the encoding changed from UTF-8 to another. This had caused me a lot of problems as this cannot be seen at the time, but only caught while processing. File transfer although great, is comparatively a little slower at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the simple 'drag and drop' interface of WinSCP and the customization settings to reflect personal preferences in use. Data transfer is as fast as a CLUI SCP/SFTP transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that it fails to open ssh account with lots of login print messages (e.g. module loading and server use messages). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that I can use it independently without opening any extra tab in the VM and copy data from one OS to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's UI can be a bit more likeable if worked upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Winscp is secured in terms of uploading/downloading files instead of using regular FTP connection. With WinSCP I can just drag and drop files I wanted to upload and download. Also I can edit text files with the need of command line as I am using WinSCP also to remote Linux machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Loading time of directory is slow and whenever I upload something it takes lots of time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP is a very handy tool for day-to-day server administration. It is a very lightweight client - you don't even really have to install it; you can just run the executable for it. It is a very simple and easy-to-use tool for connection to a server via sftp or ftp and browsing folders and copying files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't really have any dislikes about WinSCP. It is free and easy to use - so what's not to like? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like WinSCP because its free. Also with WinSCP, I can upload, download and edit files simply just by "drag and drop" method which is very convenient for a non technical person like me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only thing I am dissatisfied with WinSCP is that it takes time to load a certain directory Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
