But the nice thing is you can also hide those settings from end users, helping them feel more comfortable. > > It is a great tool that is used almost daily in some fashion or another. This can be scripted so that it's totally hands-off or manually used to research a given file remotely. ----- ### "Great for work" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *13 March 2025* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great for working with my team on sharing files > > **Cons**: one downside is you have to be careful when sharing permissions with co workers to not override a file ----- ### "Best program for scp" — 5.0/5 > **Luca** | *1 February 2025* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's my first, one and only program that i use when i have to connect to Linux server. At work i have to manage some server, and when i have to copy or download something to or from these machines, i use always WinScp > > **Cons**: For my use i can't find nothing as negative ----- ### "Secure FTP" — 5.0/5 > **Kathy** | *12 December 2022* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As with any program, as long as you have the correct credentials for your server, it's super easy to set up and log into the backend of your server for file transfer. Since I have several websites I log into, the layout of the interface is very easy and convenient to use. Updating the program is also easy, it the update now button and updates smoothly without uninstalling anything. > > **Cons**: I have been using it for at least 8 years and can't think of one issue I have had or glitch in the program. The only thing I can think of is when I first used the program, I had a hard time setting up the SFTP but that was probably user error. > > My overall experience with WinSCP is super happy with the options and functionality of the program. It is fully encrypted and a safe FTP to use. Easy to install and pretty easy to set up so you can log in immediately. ----- ### "Straightforward and Easy-to-Use SFTP Client" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *30 August 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We had to implement this product for use by employees who probably thought that "File Transfer Protocol" means Google Docs\! Nonetheless, it proved to be a quick, straightforward, free (GNU-GPL) solution. The GUI is very similar to Windows File Explorer (while there is an option for Norton Commander-like GUI as well), which makes this an easy tool for the windows-only crowd to take up. Integrated into Windows with drag-n-drop functionality. Batch file scripting makes this a good solution for automated tasks involving regularly moving large file sets. > > **Cons**: Certain new versions of the software have required our IT department to revise firewall settings. > > The employees who regularly use this program have required no specific training, and it is a simple, free, secure option for intra-organizational sharing of confidential documents. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1017151/winscp?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/1017151/winscp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
