"Good Tool to Connect to Remote Machines, Access Terminal, etc"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WinSCP?

WinSCP is a very useful tool being a developer as you have to access remote machines every now and then. It comes in handy when you have to check something on your linux machine. It also lets you save credentials for faster login. It gives you the ability to use PuTTY to access Linux terminal. The best part is that it shows the linux machine and folder structure via its own UI which makes browsing through files easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

Nothing to dislike about WinSCP as it does its job! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"WinSCP - The ultimate FTP/SFTP solution for transferring files to server"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WinSCP?

The interface. WinSCP has a unique commander interface that other systems may have failed to implement during the old days. This interface makes transferring files more manageable and lets the developer view files simultaneously on the host and server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

WinSCP is mainly designed to connect Linux systems. Connecting a Windows system is a difficult task. Also, the shell prompt opens in a new window. I would like to see the shell prompt integrated inside the commander interface as a third tile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The BEST sFTP client"
5/5
What do you like best about WinSCP?

I have been usign WinScp for more than a decade now. This is really an awesome tool. The sessions can be stored and even the passwords so that I need not remember every time I connect to every machines. Most of the times I connect from my windows machine to a unix based remote device to deploy some files. The UI is so friendly that even a beginner can handle it very well. The navigation to different directories is so easy and can be stored as fav directories Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

There is nothing that I don't like about it. It has always worked for me the way I wanted it to work. Never used command line on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"winscp is a great tool to access virtual machines"
4/5
What do you like best about WinSCP?

Winscp helps us to connect any virtual machines remotely. It provides drag and drop feature, using that we can easily keep our file from local machine to virtual machine and vice-versa. Also we can open the files in virtual machine using our local notepad setup and can easily make changes. We can also save our credentials to save our time next time to login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

It doesn't connects the ftp server sometimes, which is irritating at times. They can improve it to increase our productivity. Tab feature is also not their, it should provide a duplicate session in tab forrmat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great FTP tool with a Bunch of Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WinSCP?

I like that you can use WinSCP to access remote servers, work on files (add, upload, edit, delete, etc), move the files around, download files, and whatnot. It also comes with an option to open a PuTTY session for the current remote machine which is a major plus. It is easy to use and is pretty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

Functionality wise, WinSCP is good enough but they can still work on the UI to make it look more modern and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
