WinSCP at a glance
WinSCP is a popular open-source SFTP/FTP/SCP client for Windows, widely used by admins to move files to and from servers. The project ships regular updates, occasionally with fixes to the embedded protocol components.
For admins the attention point is stored credentials: WinSCP can save session logins and keys, so protect them with a master password and, better, use key-based SSH authentication instead of stored passwords. Updates bring features plus fixes to the underlying components; keep it current, especially where it connects to many servers. Source it from the official site. New versions maintain compatibility with sessions and settings; export the configuration as a backup regardless. For automated transfers, WinSCP's scripting/CLI is the right companion — secure the scripts and credentials.
