"Winscp - The best tool to transfer file securely"

5/5

What do you like best about WinSCP?

Winscp is fast and reliable too.

Its robustness helps us on transferring large files in minor timings.

Apart from this, it helps us not creating duplicate files.

The feature helps us create a new directory and rename the directory then, and it is also very nice.

We have been using this tool since 5 years and shall further use it unless we get a nice competetor to this files transfering tool.

Doenload feautre of this tool is too commedable

Earlier we used to work in single session but dual session is just replacing tools as beyond compare Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

Not many cons are their part from the fact it take time to load for the first time.

Connection of Notepad ++ with this tool would further help usin analyzing the text files kept on this tool more effeciently

Currently notepad take much time when we want to open large text files

Would also like to add the zipped files are not able to get extracted properly when you are inside this tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

100% recommended to others as i have been using in last 5 years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using it as a significant place to locate all our EAR and WAR,

To check bug fixing, we have to change the configuration files of WAR very frequently, and Winscp helps us in doing that wonderfully with a much faster response,

To add to this, Winscp also helps us store log files generated at run time from the application.

User shall view logs to find bugs at run time with the help of this tool

. Otherwise, it shall become quite hectic, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Powerfull, the Best!"

What do you dislike about WinSCP?

-File transfer speed is very low some times, even using SCP protocol.

-Only available on Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WinSCP:

It will suit if you want a SCP (secure copy) client for Windows that uses SSH and offers a rich feature set. It includes a built-in terminal, it can launch Putty directly, allows remote file editing, direct transfer and transfer queuing, and has the ability to limit download speed rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use WinSCP for daily management tasks on our Windows/Linux servers. The easily organized tabbed interface, internal editor, session list, and the many keyboard shortcuts make it a pleasure to use. The addition of a command line interface is great since it make easy to use with bash commands. A huge plus is the small size and portability, since it can be easily moved to different management servers and stored in a flash drive. It's an application that requires a bit of technical knowledge to use properly (especially if you use built-int Putty function), but when you overcome the initial hurdles and learn the keyboard shortcuts it's huge time saver. Support is excellent, it's well documented and the developer is active on deliver new updates, plus the community in the winscp.net forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
