What do you like best about WinSCP?

It is an easy-to-use, free file transfer client that lets me copy files from my local computer to my remote client. It runs very fast and supports multiple file transfer protocols. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

Nothing as such comes to mind. But if I had to suggest a change, it would be to change the GUI to a more modern-looking interface. The current UI, although very functional, looks very outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Copying files from local computers to remote servers has not been straightforward. WinSCP provides an easy-to-use interface and supports multiple protocols to streamline the process. In my current project, I have benefitted from having a go-to FTP client as I need to copy files daily to a remote server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent software to transfer files; I use it to be able to send by email the code traces that have given some kind of error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While transferring the file, the main problem we usually face is the security of the file. But after using WinSCP we are assured that the file is safe while transferring between a remote and a local computer. It is portable to use and has selectable user-can-only interfaces.
