What is SSH Client?

An SSH client is a software which uses the secure shell protocol to connect to a remote computer. WinSCP supports two secure file transfer protocols based on SSH:

  • SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and
  • SCP (Secure Copy Protocol).

Is it SFTP Client or SCP Client?

WinSCP integrades both! In fact WinSCP supports a variety of transfer protocols, so you can use one tool for both secure and insecure file copying. Read more about the WinSCP supported protocols.
