Description Changelog Specifications

WinSCP is an open source freeware SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client and SCP client. Its main function is safevfile transfer between a local and a remote computer, using SSH (Secure Shell).

Beyond those basic functions, WinSCP offers scripting and basic file manager functionality. The application also allows you to rename files and folders, create new folders, change properties of files and folders.

One of two selectable program interfaces allows user to manage files even on local computer. Most operations you can do recursively for files in folders.

WinSCP is also available as a plugin to two file managers, FAR and Servant Salamander.

WinSCP Features:

Integration with Windows (drag and drop, URL, shortcut icons)
Graphical user interface
Translated into several languages
All common operations with files
Support for SFTP and SCP protocols over SSH-1 and SSH-2
Batch file scripting and command-line interface
Directory synchronization in several semi or fully automatic ways
Integrated text editor
Support for SSH password, keyboard-interactive, public key and Kerberos (GSS) authentication
Integrates with Pageant (PuTTY authentication agent) for full support of public key authentication
Windows Explorer-like and Norton Commander-like interfaces.
Optionally stores session information.
Optionally supports standalone operation using a configuration file in place of registry entries, suitable for operation from removable media

Oher important features:

FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL) support.
It is possible to change group/owner of a remote file by UID/GID.
XML logging for more formal and machine-readable representation of operations performed during the session.
Filter for file panel.

Changes in WinSCP 6.2 Beta:

Single large file can be downloaded using multiple SFTP connections.
Support for OpenSSH certificates for host verification. Sponsored by Teleport.
SSH core and SSH private key tools (PuTTYgen and Pageant) upgraded to PuTTY 0.79.

Change: SSL (3.0) is no longer supported. TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are disabled by default, to match the OpenSSL 3 defaults.
Using optimized OpenSSL implementations of some algorithms.
Command to automatically size file panel columns.
Allowed browsing a source folder/file instead of downloading when handling a download URL.
Passing password to PuTTY using named pipe instead of commandline.
Made it harder to mis-click “never show this again” checkboxes.
winscp.net root certificate is always trusted when checking for updates, even when (corporate managed) Windows certificate store does not trust it.
Not browsing a source folder when handling a download URL when a download dialog is canceled.
Recognizing CertificateFile directive when importing sites from OpenSSH.
Restored ability to duplicate remote folders using cp command in secondary shell session even when the SFTP server supports copy-file/copy-data extension.
https:// URL with r2.cloudflarestorage.com hostname is interpreted as S3 protocol, instead of WebDAV.

Improved behavior when moving/renaming over an existing folder.
Improved OpenSSH config file parsing, particularly quoted and escaped values.
Support for ProFTPD command OPTS REST STOR to query if upload restart is possible.

Implemented generic ICollection implicitly by .NET assembly collections.
ProxyMethod raw session setting supports symbolical value names.
Ignoring disconnects from the server while closing the connection.
Translations updated: Danish and Traditional Chinese.
Preventing background transfer queue list columns width to shrink too much.

Improved HTTP error reporting and logging.
With application logging enabled, automatic updates installation is started with logging too.
Throwing an exception when Session.SessionLogPath is set to a path with invalid .xml extension.

Server Requirements

Using WinSCP, you can connect to an SSH (Secure Shell) server with SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) service, to an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server or HTTP server with WebDAV service.SFTP is a standard part of the SSH-2 package. SCP is a standard part of the SSH-1 package. You can also run both protocols on the latter SSH version. WinSCP supports both SSH-1 and SSH-2. For authentication, you can use user name and password or public key (RSA or DSA). Other authorization types include TIS, Cryptocard, Keyboard-interactive, and Kerberos.For FTP, both the basic unencrypted variant and FTPS are supported. Compressed transfers (Zlib) are not supported.

For WebDAV, both the basic unencrypted variant and WebDAVS are supported. Compressed transfers (Zlib) are not supported.

SFTP Requirements

For SFTP, the only requirement beyond the server requirements above is to run SFTP on the server. It is best to run it as an SSH-2 subsystem. If you select SFTP-only on the Login dialog and the SFTP subsystem is not found, WinSCP will try to find the SFTP server in some common directories (/usr/lib/sftp-server, /usr/local/lib/sftp-server, etc.). This way, it is possible to use SFTP even with SSH-1, which does not support subsystems.
