Free: WinSCP SFTP / FTP client for Windows

WinSCP is an open source SFTP/FTP client for the Windows platform that is simple to use. I prefer WinSCP over other clients because of it’s simple interface and the emphasis on secure file transfers with support for SFTP, SSH, SCP and FTP. The built-in text editor makes editing remote files even easier. I like WinSCP simplicity, open source nature, and support for SFTP. There are plenty of file transfer clients to choose from, some do too much and others too little. WinSCP strikes a balance between the two which makes it my favorite option for a Windows client.
