Support for SFTP and SCP protocols over SSH-1 and SSH-2 and plain old FTP protocol.Integration with Windows (drag&drop, URL, shortcut icons).Beyond this, WinSCP offers scripting and basic file manager functionality. Its main function is file transfer between a local and a remote computer. That was real common in the real original Norton Commander (meaning in character-mode DOS), but if you were expecting behavior like most Windows-based 2-pane file browsers (including many popular FTP clients like WS_FTP), WinSCP will drive you nuts until you either change this drop-down or switch out of Commander mode and go to Explorer integration mode.WinSCP is an open-source free SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client, and SCP client for Windows. With the default, to select multiple files, you have to tag them by hitting the space bar on them. In the Panel section, set the 'Explorer-style selection' drop-down list to 'Mouse and Keyboard.' Why this isn't the default in 2008 is beyond me. WinSCP offers a nice range of UI options, but the #1 thing you need to know if you choose the 2-pane 'Norton Commander' style is: Go into Preferences, Environment, Commander.

For example, the recent crashes on exit (which are fixed in 4.12), the annoying hangs, and the inexcusable port conflicts should have never made it into any release, not even a beta. Good program which IS actively being developed but sometimes a little recklessly.
