What is WinSCP?
WinSCP (Windows Secure Copy) is a free and open-source file transfer software for Windows that supports secure file transfers between a local and remote computer. It primarily uses the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol, including SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure Copy Protocol), to ensure encrypted and secure data transfers. WinSCP features a graphical user interface (GUI) with a dual-pane file manager, making it easy to navigate and transfer files. Additionally, it offers scripting and automation capabilities, integration with PuTTY, and support for various authentication methods, making it a popular choice for system administrators and developers.
