What programs do you guys use to handle FTP / SCP ?

I could just use FileZilla for FTP and Putty for SCP (I think putty can handle that) but, that's rather annoying. It'd be nice to have the one program handle the lot. Like WinSCP does.

You can go into settings and have it use binary instead of automatic. Also if your using an external editor (like i am) be sure it doesnt mess around with it either. Mine has never given me a problem (i use programmers notepad aka pnotepad) – acidzombie24 Dec 30 '10 at 5:34

I'd say that the comment left by acidzombie24 is the best advice. Personally I haven't come across a better FTP program than WinSCP. I recommend you change your settings to transfer using Binary, and use an editor like NP++ rather than the in-house editor.

Here are a few screenshots:

FileZilla allows SFTP as well. Alternatively you can give FAR File Manager with WinSCP-Plugin a try.

Bitvise Tunnelier is also a good alternative to WinSCP.

I'd use cyberduck FOSS, nice UI, and you can use your editor of choice. It also handles a metric crapload of other formats.

I think the GUI on Windows actually looks really ugly, as it tried to still look like a MacOSX program instead of using Windows conventions. – paradroid Sep 9 '11 at 10:19

SecureFX can do SCP, but it is not free. It is quite cheap when bundled with SecureCRT, which is a rather expensive, but very nice, SSH/telnet client.
