WinSCP is an open-source client for Windows that allows a Windows computer to transfer and manage files on a server using the secure protocols SCP and SFTP.

Installation

You may download WinSCP from EOS here. No installation is required, so you should probably save it on your desktop or in C:\WINDOWS\System32 (Windows XP) or C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows 2000), right click it, click "Create Shortcut", and drag this shortcut to your desktop or start menu.

WinSCP is already installed on all school-owned computers.

Operation

You should see this when you double click the application:

Click ssh.ncsu.edu if it isn't already highlighted and click Load. Type in your Unity ID for the username and your Unity password for password. Also select SCP instead of SFTP.

If it shows this Warning screen you may click yes and continue.

Now you can click and drag applications to and from your computer and your filespace, and you may perform common tasks as shown below.
