WinSCP Reviews & Product Details - Page 22

This tool has everything to work on a remote server through some protocols. SFTP, SSH and WebDAV.

Folder's Tree, drag n drop capabilities and many more features. You can setup colors to differentiate your servers / remote hosts, finally, there's a text editor built-in, there's no way you couldn't find that handy if you're working on a pc that's not yours and you like to have tools you're comfortable with.

At this time, i don't dislike anything on this application. It has worked flawlessly for me and i will recommend it until i find something more useful than this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WinSCP is one of the few GUI tools that embraces its spot as a power users' tool without giving into clutter or obscurity of interface. Integration with PuTTY makes it easy to get started quickly with existing SSH sessions. Powerful settings access for parallel downloads, control over queue functionality and queue completion action, multi-session support, and so forth makes it easy to customize while not losing sight of its core competency - quick and easy file transfer. I'm also a huge fan of the customizable commands section; being able to quickly tarball, lob files to pastebin with a click, and so forth thanks to the easy editing of commands makes it easy to use. I'm a command line fiend but I still love using WinSCP for all my bulk and complicated file transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Session timeouts and transfer slowness can cause it to choke in a less-than-intuitive way; if I'm dealing with a slow or intermittently connective server, I'll often end up using rsync just because WinSCP doesn't always handle that well. Favorite folders and navigation beyond the basic file traversal is a bit of a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is simple and responds quickly. Making multiple session and creating tabs is clean and simple, should you create too many the error message is clear and does not require additional diagnosis, chrashes are non existant. Disconnects are handled well by a thirty second timer.

The files are opened in the editor of my choice, open quickly and download fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The console interface is poor and lacks features, copying files around is simpler to do by copying them to a local directory and then browsing to the remote copy you want to copy to. Opening multiple files or a directory in sublime or another editor cannot be done with one click. However you can drag and drop folders and files to the explorer. Deleting folders requires indexing them, so if they have huge file counts you are forced to use the command line, which is unfortunate. Automatically downloading files which are compressed or compressing them on the server is a hugely important feature that WinSCP would be much better with. It just generally does not handle large file counts well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used many ftp tools reaching as final destination WinSCP, i use it a lot when working on remote servers. It also brings Putty integration, so you will be able to run commands in a shell session without having to login twice to the same host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The file transfer speeds can sometimes reach the worst you'll ever have, it should be fixed in the coming time. Also It's a shame this handy tool is only available for Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, especially if you familiar with Total Commander. I love the drag and drop function, and that I can easily switch the current session to putty console. I manage about 10 different site and server over the world, and its help me a lot between my home windows and these Linux based computers.

Love that I can use my own text editor to edit a file.

And so easy to modify the file permissions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The built in console is not so useful, and the typical copy-paste function is not exist. The one that I really miss is the zip/unzip build in feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Works great for transferring files via FTP or SFTP, and is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much... but when I leave a session open and leave, the UI will be frozen since there is a pop-up about being disconnected that I can't bring back to front using Alt + F4. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

multi protocol support, live preview, per session settings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the user interface ist horrendously ugly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Secured Accessing to the servers with userid/password or with public/private key authentication. Exporting the connections from one system to other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Restricted Accessing modes will not allow to convert to super user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy that I feel very secure using WinSCP and that it is easy to use and share data/files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is a little clunky, there are buttons everywhere and I feel it needs to be cleaned up to make it more user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great tool. Like the speed, the look, the functionality. Possibility to be connected to multiple destinations at the same time, have the sessions stored, or to edit the file and automatically upload the changed file back to remote destination make it a must have tool. This was the most missed application when I switched to linux (and one of the reason I came back to windows) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't have anything, that I don't like about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
