Is there any WinSCP equivalent for linux? [closed]

Answer 1

I use FileZilla and it works fine with SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). Follow these steps to install it and configure it:

1. Install FileZilla via terminal:

sudo apt-get install filezilla

2. Open the program and go to File -> Site Manager... or simply type Ctrl+S

3. The following window should appear:

4. Enter the name of your host, select the port (usually 22 for ssh/scp/sftp) and choose SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol as protocol and optionally set the Logon Type to Normal if authentication is needed, resp. enter your data.

Answer 2

1. gFTP
2. Konqueror's fish kio-slave (just write as file path: ssh://user@server/path

Answer 3

If you're using Gnome, you can go to: Places -> Connect to Server in nautilus and choose SSH. If you have a SSH agent running and configured, no password will be asked! (This is the same as sftp://root@servername/directory in Nautilus)

In Konqueror, you can simply type: fish://servername.

per Mike R: In Ubuntu Unity 14.0.4 its under Files > Connect to Server in the Menu or Network > Connect to Server in the sidebar

Answer 4

To run WinSCP under Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), follow these steps:

1. Run sudo apt-get install wine (run this one time only, to get 'wine' in your system, if you haven't it)
2. Download latest WinSCP portable package https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
3. Make a folder and put the content of zip file in this folder
4. Open a terminal
5. Type wine WinSCP.exe

Done! WinSCP will run like in Windows environment!

Best regards.

Answer 5

WinSCP works fine on Linux under Wine. I installed Wine and WinSCP and had no problems.

Answer 6

One big thing not mentioned is the fact that with WinSCP you can also use key file authentication which I am unable to do successfully with Ubuntu FTP clients. KFTPGrabber is the closest thing I can find that supports key file authentication... but it still doesn't work for me, where WinSCP does.
