I liked the best part of it is that it is very easy to share any files from local window pc to Linux remote server with no interruptions and that is free of cost anymore, that is attractive to each type of developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WinSCP has been around for a very long time. I am constantly reviewing new solutions and I haven't found anything that comes close to WinSCP in terms of a Secure FTP client. The fact that it bundles standard FTP, Secure FTP, and FTP over SSL is what makes it shine. It's interface is much more sleek and user friendly compared to other free FTP solutions.

The update frequency is a bit aggressive, it seems like anytime I use the software, there is an update, and I use it frequently. Unless the update is security focused I think they should group the changes together for fewer updates; of course if the update is security related then it is important yes.

The drag and drop feature is undoubtedly the best among the many features it offers. The built file editor is a life savior for anyone who is new to cli machines.Also the progress bar for downloading/uploading file is informative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing that I dislike but the download/upload speeds is less for some big files, but this isn't a drawback of Winscp as SFTP itself is a slow tech Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Winscp is quite convenient to transfer files from one server to another, with dedicated security access and the possibility to drag and drop with some limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The graphical user interface is a bit outdated, and the WinSCP access credentials do not support modern multi-factor authorizations, etc. It is not that great when you work with external customers, and it shows that you are not using the latest user-friendly tool on the market.

It is very easy to use, and one of the best user-friendly tools. Helps to Copy files between a local computer and remote servers very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it's very slow to transfer large files and many times It got hung also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about WinSCP is it is straightforward to use, and copying the data to other servers is just drag and drop. Also, I like the UI of the WinSCP, it is at it's best. I am enjoying it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing which I don't like about WinSCP is it doesn't allow to establish the connection with multiple servers at the same time, and it timeout the connection soon hence require to restart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


WinSCP directory structure, file transfer through protocols Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When there are comparatively large amounts of the file to upload, it gets slow also. Large files cause issues in preview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a well known and free SFTP and FTP client used for transferring data safely to the remote server directly. It is more user friendly and trustable because it has a good authentication method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes WinSCP is shown as a Virus and harmful to device by some Anti-virus. But when checked in defender it's completely safe , so I don't think it's a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
