A popular free program for securely transferring files via SSH (SCP/SFTP) and FTP.
WinSCP offers two interfaces to choose from: one with panels resembling Total Commander, the other with a single pane resembling Windows Explorer. The transmission is encrypted, with AES, Blowfish, 3DES and DES cryptographic protocols available. The SSH protocol is supported in both version 1 and 2. The program is easy to use, and at the same time has a lot of useful features, e.g. for people uploading files to a web server via SSH.
