| WinSCP | Transferring files using messaging or FTP clients is an easy thing to do, but also insecure. When exchanging bank account data, or confidential company data, even the smallest security gap, can lead to big problems for you and your data transfer partners. These problems lead to the development and implementation of secure file transfer protocols such as SFTP and others. WinSCP is a completely free program designed to help you transfer files securely using the SFTP and SCP transfer protocols. In order to use it you need three important things: a computer running Microsoft Windows and connected to the Internet, access to a SSH server with SFTP/SCP support and of course, the file(s) you need to transfer. | |
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server applications, which solves the problem of different end host configurations (i.e., Operating System, file names). FTP is used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access.
