1) It has helped to transfer files from our local windows machine to Linux production servers very easily.
2)WinSCP login- It has stored sessions which saves all login details like username, hostname and password which saves our time and also helps to login easily the next time.
3) Duplicate Session- WinSCP has an option to create duplicate sessions which is very helpful while showing our demo for multiple modules.
4) Permission Invoke or Revoke- This is at tip of our finger, it has saved lot of time of remembering and typing the commands in putty to change the permissions of folder or files, just a click on properties does it.
5) Integration with Putty-As it is integrated with putty,its very easy to login to the same session and navigate to directories easily
6) Easy Icons-We have lot of icons like moving to home directory,back and forward icons,refresh icons which is very much helpful in case of Linux machines where without refresh you will be not able to see the change and lot more.
7) Helps in creating any type of file or directory just with a right click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1) Login- WinSCP should prompt when password has changed rather than notifying access denied.
2) File size- WinSCP cannot transfer huge files
3) WinSCP should have an option to open putty session from the path where we want rather than each time configuring the putty session Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quick and easy to use when you are trying to get a file transferred over SSH. I use it mainly for transferring files to juniper switches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Interface might be a little dated. Could use an update, but that is really a minor complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the most with WinSCP is that it is free and it meets all my needs especially when I need to edit a certain text file on a linux machine and too lazy to do it via command line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it takes so much time to load when you are trying to access a directory with large files inside it. Also uploading of file consumes more time compared to filezilla Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is very friendly and easy to use
The creation of folders and creation of files is very easy.
The session can be saved which helps us in logging in easily
The application can be used to move the files within the same folder or diffrent folder.
We can move the files from our local system to linux just by drag and rop option which is very easy
When we try modifiying any file, it asks for the passowrd which ensures the security feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We cannot copy and paste the files or folders.
Other than that i dont see any drawback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy workflow. I find it more organized than other FTP programs like Filezilla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It feels like the update prompts come up very other day even if I select that I'm not interested in downloading at the moment. Usually I'm using it during a rushed moment to transfer a file before an transfers to a vendor at the top of the hour,. I don't need an extra prompt everytime I log in when I trying to locate the file quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Constant updates. Great GUI. Integrations with many text editors and shells. Fantastic speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This will sound petty but I don't like that the Close button on the connections panel closes the whole program. Other than that, nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface recall the windows explorer, very intuitive. You could use inline editor or external editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It Does not support direct file duplication. Either you have to open another session or make a local copy. If you make a local copy it means you have to download the file before, so it is not practical to big files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This client is very streamlined and basic. It lets you do exactly what you need it to do, no more, no less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The stored sites are all local, so must be re-created on new devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
WinSCP is a solid, reliable product. I work on client site sometimes under extreme conditions and I can always rely on WinSCP to push or pull data when I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like the ability to use WinSCP in the background while it is transmitting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
