WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client and FTP client for Windows. Legacy SCP protocol is also supported. Its main function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote computer.
Features:
* Graphical user interface
* Translated into several languages
* Integration with Windows (drag&drop, URL, shortcut icons)
* U3 support
* All common operations with files
* Support for SFTP and SCP protocols over SSH-1 and SSH-2 and plain old FTP protocol
* 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 with SSH
* 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.

WinSCP 4.2 beta
Changes
FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL) support using OpenSSL 0.9.8j. 36
It is possible to change group/owner of a remote file by UID/GID. 333
XML logging for more formal and machine-readable representation of operations performed during the session. 95
Filter for file panel. 56
New set of bookmarks/location profiles that is shared between all sessions. 284
Timestamps of uploaded files are preserved with FTP. 293
SSH core upgraded to the latest development snapshot of PuTTY (2008-02-23, revision 8461). It brings following changes:
Improved flow control with SSH-2, what improved transfer speed, particularly for downloads. 17 flow-control flow-control-filexfer
Support for SSH-2 RSA key exchange. ssh2-rsa-kex
Improved robustness when dealing with servers that does not respect WinSCP window size. ssh2-window-overrun
Improved robustness when dealing with servers that does not respect WinSCP packet size limit (e.g. GlobalSCAPE). 314 ssh2-bug-maxpkt
Switched to PuTTY’s own implementation of Kerberos/GSSAPI. It brings following changes: kerberos-gssapi
GSS key exchange algorithms are no longer supported.
Session option Service principal name is no longer supported.
Bug fix: WinSCP tried password authentication with SSH-1 even if the server says not to. ssh1-no-password
Bug fix: In CBC modes, decrypting the packet length could leak information. ssh2-cbc-pktlen-weakness
When checking for updates, beta versions are by default not reported.
Any file mask can include exclude masks (separated by pipe). 328
Position of internal editor window is remembered. 317
It is possible to synchronize remote files with name that is not allowed on Windows. 31
Console window of .exe can be minimized to task bar status area. 243
For external editors, WinSCP no longer waits for editor process to be closed by default. It keeps edited remote file in temporary directory until WinSCP closes instead. Previous behavior can be forced using editor preference option External editor opens each file in separate window (process). 334
In editor preferences list, editing certain files with an associated application can be configured. 283
It is possible to edit files in ad hoc selected editor. 291
Using of switch -a with FTP LIST command is configurable. 275
For messages without associated help page, WinSCP can initiate search of whole documentation site.
File mask hint shows file size mask syntax.
Number of not shown hidden files is indicated on status bar.
Expanding/collapsing capability of create directory dialog removed.
Workaround for problem with Tectia SFTP server corrupting remote file if resumed transfer fails again. 351
Errors while keeping session alive with FTP protocol are ignored.
Bug fix: File externally hidden was not removed from file panel.
Bug fix: When synchronizing timestamps of local files, update of non-existing local files was offered. 346
Bug fix: When name of destination remote file was changed on overwrite confirmation dialog, timestamps and permissions were yet set on the original filename (SFTP only).
Bug fix: Change of name of destination remote file on overwrite confirmation dialog was not reflected properly for resumable file transfers (SFTP only).
Bug fix: Failure during dummy listing of remote directory as form of keepalive, while error message of failed regular directory listing was shown.
Bug fix: Failure after closing internal editor. 349
Bug fix: Infinite loop when FTP directory listing with -a switch fails. 352
Bug fix: Paste in an internal editor could not be undone. 354
Bug fix: Script switch -preservetime did not work. 361
Bug fix: Repetitive prompts for adding bookmark when switching between “bookmark” and “location profile” mode.
Bug fix: Suspending background transfer was not working with FTP. 341
Bug fix: Occasional failure when showing main window. 369
Bug fix: Status bar on log file window always indicated no log file. 370
Bug fix: Just leaved directory was not focused in file panel when paths as reported by remote server ended with slash. 371
Bug fix: Opening session in PuTTY was not working for ad-hoc sessions. 372
Bug fix: Incorrectly URL-encoded character in session specification may caused the session to be silently ignored. 373
