The menu and tool bars are in the upper portion of the screen. The remote server that you are connected to will be on the right side. Your local computer will appear on the left side of the user interface. The commander interface is divided into four main sections. WinSCP lets you choose between the commander and explorer interfaces. While WinSCP is a graphical user interface, PuTTY is a command-line interface. PuTTY is an SSH client that is mainly used to directly interact with your server. WinSCP is an FTP client specifically used for secure file transfers. WinSCP features plenty of settings to explore. You can put your remote and local directory data into the ‘Directories’ area of the advanced settings. Remote directories are required for certain systems. The ‘Authentication' tab in the ‘SSH’ section of the ‘Advanced Site Settings’ lets you type your private key file. Certain servers require advanced security and if your server uses private and public key authentication, then you can enter the info by clicking on the ‘Advanced’ button. A username and password are required to use WinSCP. An IP Address can be used for the hostname section. The hostname box is beside the port number. The arrows let you conveniently increase or decrease the amount. While each protocol has a set port number, the number can be changed and you can manually modify the port by typing the number. The port number will automatically populate when you change the protocol type. Each file protocol has a set port number. You can choose between WebDAV, SCP, SFTP, S3, and FTP protocols. You can change the server data for each session and a dropdown menu lets you pick the file protocol.
The login window appears when you launch WinSCP and next, you will need to fill in your server information. The graphical user interface makes WinSCP easy to use.
