WinSCP-Client is a tool for Windows 11 and 10 users. It moves files between your computer and a remote server. You use it to upload files to websites or download files from work servers. It supports SFTP and FTP protocols. This tool acts as an alternative to command-line utilities. You manage your remote storage through a graphical interface instead of text lines.
Your computer needs the following to run this software:
Follow these steps to install the software on your machine:
The system adds a desktop icon. Double-click this icon to start the application.
You need specific details to connect to a remote server. Keep these items near you:
Input these credentials into the login window. The software saves these details in a session list for future use. Click the Login button to initiate the encrypted connection.
The interface shows windows side-by-side. Your local computer appears on the left side. The remote server appears on the right side. Drag and drop files between these windows to copy them. Right-click files to rename, delete, or change properties. Use the top menu to refresh the view if files fail to show immediately.
The software encrypts file transfers. This protects your data during transmission. It stores your saved login settings in a local file. Always use strong passwords for your servers to ensure security. Do not share your server credentials with unknown parties.
If the connection fails, verify your internet connection. Check the server address for spelling errors. Confirm that your firewall allows traffic for port 22. Contact your server administrator if you cannot reach the host. These steps resolve most common connection issues.
