WinSCP is freeware SCP (Secure CoPy) client for Windows 95/98/2000/NT using
SSH (Secure SHell). WinSCP is a great tool for transferring large numbers of files,
directory structures, or files in multiple directories. It looks much like an
FTP client, except that it uses an SSH backend process. This difference has two
advantages:
- WinSCP uses a different method of connection than FTP. If you're having problems
uploading with your FTP program, WinSCP can help.
- FTP is not secure. Hackers can "listen" in on FTP transfers and collect information.
This has not been a significant problem at One World, but WinSCP is secure, and
does provide an added level of security to your web site activity.
File operations
WinSCP can do all basic operations with files, such as copying and moving (to
and from a remote computer). It also allows you to rename files and folders, create
new folders, change properties of files and folders.
Program interface
The WinSCP interface is very similar to many FTP programs, and also to your Windows
Explorer. There are left and right hand windows, and you can double click
or drop and drag to move files back and forth. The interface has a number
of other options as well which are described in more detail on the next page.
Session list
Session data for connection to your account be stored in the session list. Just
as you can save connection data and details with most any FTP client, WinSCP allows
you to save your session details for an easy one-click connection to your account.
