Met het programma WinSCP kunnen op een veilige manier bestanden worden gekopieerd binnen een lokaal netwerk, via Secure Copy, of over het internet, via Secure FTP. Het kan daarnaast automatisch verschillende mappen synchroniseren en bestanden bewerken met de ingebouwde text editor. Voor een overzicht van alle mogelijkheden van dit programma verwijzen we jullie door naar deze pagina. De Tsjechische ontwikkelaar, Martin Prikryl, heeft versie 4.0.5 de deur uitgedaan met de volgende lijst van aanpassingen:
Version 4.0.5:
- With FTP protocol, errors when parsing file permissions in directory listing are ignored.
