Introduction

WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client, S3 client and SCP client for Windows. Its main function is file transfer between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers scripting and basic file manager functionality.

It provides a more windows explorer-like interface which users might prefer over the command line or the application filezilla.

Download and Install

It can be downloaded from www.winscp.net - if you're on a university-imaged PC you may need administrator rights to install this program.

Setting up

Add a new site by using the following details:

  • File protocol: SFTP
  • Hostname: viper.hull.ac.uk
  • User name: Your university ID (eg 887766)
  • Password: Your university password

Click on Save and then click on Login (to start the session)
