| - | SUDHIR JAIN SGSITS | + | ===== Project Start ===== |
| + | === March 2000 === | ||
| + | I started the first work on the project in about March 2000, while I was working in the IT department of [[http://www.vse.cz/|University of Economics in Prague]]. The temporary name "WinSCP" (Windows Secure CoPy) was chosen until a nicer name was | ||
| + | thought of (which never actually happened). | ||
| + | |||
| + | WinSCP was probably the first GUI file transfer client for SSH ever (at least on Microsoft Windows platform). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Original idea came from Jan Havlicek. In fact he wanted the tool a great deal. And he bothered me for weeks until I finally decided to implement it for him, without actually needing it myself beforehand. He was also the first one who spread the word about WinSCP on the Internet, before the project pages were set up. | ||

| - | SUDHIR JAIN SGSITS | + | ===== 2.x Series ===== |
| + | === October 2001 === | ||
| + | As version 1.0 was my first application of the kind, it was terribly designed, and consequently it was not worth extending. So eventually, after a break, when I decided to continue with the project, I needed to start from scratch. The results of my work were released in October 2001 as version 2.0 beta. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This version introduced SSH-2, public key authentication, alternative Explorer interface and many other features. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It took me more than one year before I felt 2.x series mature enough to release the first non-beta version, 2.2, in January 2003. | ||

| In June 2003 version 3.0 was released, introducing support for the alternative to SCP, the SFTP protocol. Over time it evolved from the alternative to the primary protocol. Despite this, the well-established name "WinSCP" was preserved. | In June 2003 version 3.0 was released, introducing support for the alternative to SCP, the SFTP protocol.

| + | === July 2003 === | ||
| + | After leaving the University, I have decided to move WinSCP project from the University server to [[http://sourceforge.net/|SourceForge]]. The primary WinSCP site address was changed to ''winscp.sourceforge.net''. | ||
