 - Unix treats three and more-characters filenames with dots-only as regular files. Windows treat them the same as ".." (i.e. the parent directory).
- Windows trims trailing dots from filenames.

 Once dot-only filenames are obscured from Windows, all security checks which hide dot-only filenames from user can be removed.

Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic file manager functionality. It uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports, in addition to Secure FTP, also legacy SCP protocol. [More]
