WinSCP Review
WinSCP is one of the popular free FTP client software program for Windows users. It is an open source application, so you can download and use it for free of charge. It is a good and free solution for the secure file transferring between a local and a remote computer. WinSCP also provides you SFTP client functionality. There is no limit on the size of the file transferred. However, there are restrictions placed by protocols used. SCP protocol does not support files over 4 GiB (32-bit boundary), while SFTP and FTP support them.
The program runs on any system running Win32 system including Windows 95 / 98 / 2000 / XP / Vista and Windows 7. WinSCP is also available as a plug-in to two file managers, FAR and Altap Salamander.
