What is a program similar to WinSCP?

In Windows I use WinSCP to transfer files server-side. It has a very attractive feature that I like best: keeping remote folders up to date.

This means, whenever my local file is changed, WinScp will replace the same file on the server with this new file.

Could you suggest me software that support this feature?

Solution 1:

Nautilus the default file browser has the feature of mounting remote files.

Go to File Menu > Connect to Server..

Other than that filezilla and gftp support sftp.

Solution 2:

Since you are familiar with Winscp on Windows, I suggest that you try filezilla

FileZilla Client is a fast and reliable cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with lots of useful features and an intuitive graphical user interface.

You can also install with the command line. Open terminal Ctrl+Alt+T and run following command:

sudo apt-get install filezilla

Or search on Filezilla in Ubuntu Software Center.

When you add a host, be sure to change from FTP to SFTP, and change the port number to ssh port 22 (or other custom ssh port if different)

Make the account type interactive.

Enjoy.
