WinSCP is a great FTP client for accessing server files, uploading, and downloading from it. You can simply drag-drop to download or upload. The best thing about it is it portable and doesn't require installation. You need to just open the software, enter the Host Name, Username and Password, and it connects quickly.

The connection and files access is easy, but a great drawback is the speed at which the files get uploaded or downloaded. If the file size is huge it takes a lot of time to download it to your local machine. IT significantly limits the upload/download speeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simple in use, and we can share the FTP/SFTP link with data to our clients and visa-versa.

I do not have any dislikes about this product, as it meets all my requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are too many things for best in WinSCP; first, we quickly transfer the file between the local computer and remote computer, and we have multiple options for file protocol to select and save our hostname. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike in WinSCP, but one thing is that sometimes WinSCP speed shows slow when we transfer the file between local computer and remote computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like best about the WinScp it provides a very well User-friendly graphical user interface. It has great security features and different encryption formates to connect with the different Host servers like SCP and FTP and Wubdev and all. By using WinScp we can easily connect with any network by using Host ID and Host Password and we can upload and download any data from the Host easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downsides of using WinScp are we can't access the system which could work in windows operating systems. We can access the data from any device which has a windows operating system. it is best suitable to get the data from the Linux operating systems because that device only supports the SCP and FTP formates.

Transferring any file is just a click away. The folders in source and destination can be easily accessed. The transfer rate is much faster and multiple transfers are also very easy.This tool is time saver and user friendly and any new person can use it without any kind of walkthrough.

Sometimes the connection is lost many times. Transfer is file stops immediately without pausing the transfer. Hence a file has to be transferred again if the connection is lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WinSCP supports not only FTP but also SFTP and SCP. It is capable of secure manual or automatic file transfers. You can syncrhonize files with servers. The interface is straightforward and easy to use. It has a simple file management type feature. It supports drag and drop when transferring files. The addition of a text editor feature also comes very handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing to dislike about this application. Not only is it free, but it also gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple WinSCP is. I use it to do a simple drag and drop from an SSH server to another server, it's easy to set up automated scripts with WinSCP, and I use it to edit HTML. It's a legit multipurpose file transfer software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I'd prefer that WinSCP offer is the ability to edit HTML in a more thought-out editor, such as the offerings of Notepad++. I don't mind skimming through the current editor since I started making websites in Notepad when I was a kid, but I wouldn't be upset if one day, there were squiggly lines and all the other fun markups that actual editors have.
