WinSCP :: Freeware SFTP and SCP client for Windows

This is a great app for securely transferring files. It's also great when you'd like to use your Windows text editor (like SciTE) to edit a file out on a Unix or Linux server.
WinSCP is an open source SFTP client for Windows. Its main function is the secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic file manager functionality. It uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports, in addition to Secure FTP, also legacy SCP protocol.

Thanks for a great blog, SWeidner! I think it is noteworthy that WinSCP versions 3.76 and later incorporate the awesome "Synchronize" command which lets students maintain an identical copy of thier thumb drive contents on the university server. Also, Win32 computers can run thier own secure shell daemon with the SSHD component of a Cygwin installation. (http://www.cygwin.com/)
