add shortdesc
Removing two occurences of the word Freeware as this might be missleading, as the source code for freeware is typically not made available. In contrast the WinSCP program can be freely distributed without any limitations and its source code is available. The only limitation is that it is not allowed to redistribute or reuse WinSCP icons (created by 3rd party) without WinSCP separately or in or with another software.

'''WinSCP''' ('''''Win'''dows '''S'''ecure '''C'''o'''p'''y'') is a [[free and open-source software|free and open-source]] [[SSH File Transfer Protocol]] (SFTP), [[File Transfer Protocol]] (FTP), [[WebDAV]], [[Amazon S3]], and [[secure copy protocol]] (SCP) client for [[Microsoft Windows]]. Its main function is secure file transfer between a local computer and a remote [[Server_(computing)|server]]. Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic [[file manager]] and [[file synchronization]] functionality. For secure transfers, it uses the [[Secure Shell]] protocol (SSH) and supports the SCP protocol in addition to SFTP.<ref>{{cite web|title=Introducing WinSCP|url=https://winscp.net/eng/docs/introduction|website=winscp.net|access-date=21 November 2014}}</ref>

===WinSCP as a remote editor===
WinSCP can act as a remote editor. When the user clicks on a (text) file in the remote file manager, it transfers the file to the local machine and opens it in the integrated editor, allowing users to edit it locally as they would with any other text file. Alternatively, the user may choose local editors based on file extensions. Whenever the document is saved, the remote version is updated automatically.<ref>{{cite web|title=Editing/Opening Files|url=https://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_edit|website=winscp.net|access-date=21 November 2014}}</ref>

WinSCP (Windows Secure Copy)[3] is a file manager, SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), WebDAV, Amazon S3, and secure copy protocol (SCP) client for Microsoft Windows. The WinSCP project has released its source code on GitHub under an open source license, while the program itself is distributed as proprietary freeware.[4]

Program

[edit]

Its main function is secure file transfer between a local computer and a remote server.[5] Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic file manager and file synchronization functionality. For secure transfers, it uses the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) and supports the SCP protocol in addition to SFTP.[6]

Development of WinSCP started around March 2000 and continues. Originally it was hosted by the University of Economics in Prague, where its author worked at the time. Since July 16, 2003, the program and its source code is licensed under the GNU GPL. It is hosted on SourceForge and GitHub.[7]

WinSCP is based on the implementation of the SSH protocol from PuTTY and FTP protocol from FileZilla.[8] It is also available as a plugin for Altap Salamander file manager,[9] and there exists a third-party plugin for the FAR file manager.[10]

Features

[edit]
An internal editor window

Apart from the standard package, three portable versions are also available: A generic package[13] and two customized versions for LiberKey and PortableApps.com. The portable version runs on Wine[14] on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and BSD.[15]

Some older versions of the WinSCP installer included OpenCandy advertising module or bundled Google Chrome. Since version 5.5.5 (August 2014) the installer does not contain any advertisement.[citation needed]
