Download WinSCP 6.5 – Free SFTP, SCP, and FTP Client for Windows

WinSCP 6.5 is a free, open-source SFTP, SCP, FTP, WebDAV, and S3 file transfer client for Windows. It is one of the most trusted tools for securely transferring files between your Windows computer and remote servers, making it an essential utility for web developers, system administrators, and anyone who manages files on remote Linux or Unix servers.

WinSCP features both a dual-panel Commander-style interface (similar to Total Commander) and an Explorer-style interface, letting you choose whichever layout you prefer. It supports drag-and-drop file transfers, directory synchronization, scripting for automated transfers, and a built-in text editor for quick file edits directly on the remote server.

With support for multiple protocols including SFTP, SCP, FTP, FTPS, WebDAV, and Amazon S3, WinSCP covers virtually every remote file transfer scenario. Its tight integration with PuTTY makes it easy to open SSH terminal sessions alongside your file transfers.
