Donderdag is er een nieuwe stabiele versie van WinSCP verschenen. Met dit programma, dat onder een opensourcelicentie wordt uitgebracht, kunnen op een veilige manier bestanden tussen twee computer worden gekopieerd. Het programma ondersteunt ftp, secure ftp en het oudere secure copy (scp) protocol. WinSCP is niet alleen als een op zichzelf staand programma beschikbaar, maar is ook als plugin voor de bestandsbeheerprogramma's FAR en Altap Salamander beschikbaar. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
