What do you like best about WinSCP?

WinSCP provides an ease to transfer data from one server to another. It provides a graphical UI to fulfill the need of data transfer. As the name suggests SCP, being a command to copy data form one machine to another, same is achieved by the tool. Also it is getting more advance day by day providing an ease to visually see the data, permissions over particular directory, and also allows us to read and write into files, which is a pretty good solution to those who are not much aware with VI editor or unix commands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

The major dislike, or an enhancement which I seek in this tool is the execution of the scrips, which as of now is achieved only via shell.

Here most of the things of shell are achieved in a visual manner, but when it comes to execution, then we always have to open a separate shell session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

It is highly recommended for people who use FTP between different machines, but one should not become totally dependent on WinSCP for FTP, as I've seen many people who don't want to learn the Shell commands for the things for which WinSCP solve the purpose, and thus become totally dependent on the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mainly we use WinSCP for FTP of data from local machine to Linux server.

Also as it comes with some other advancements of read write features of data, sometimes we feel an ease to do the same using WinSCP instead of using the shell commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
