SFTP encrypts both the data being transferred, and the commands used to perform the transfer, providing a higher level of security compared to traditional FTP (File Transfer Protocol). </span></p> <p style="text-align:justify">This article explores the top eight SFTP clients for Windows and Linux, catering to a range of needs and preferences. Whether you're a business exchanging sensitive data or an individual safeguarding personal information, this guide will help you find the right tool to securely transfer files.</p> <p><strong>Here is our list of the best SFTP clients for Windows and Linux:</strong></p> <ol><li><a href="http://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/solar-putty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>SolarWinds Solar-PuTTY</strong></a>: Free, standalone SFTP client used for network file transfer developed by SolarWinds, a prominent provider of IT management software.

Some factors include:</p> <ul><li><strong>Features</strong>: The list includes tools with a variety of features, including secure file transfer, directory browsing, and file/folder management. Other features considered include scripting, synchronization, SSH key management, and cloud storage integration.</li> <li><strong>Cost</strong>: We considered commercial and open-source options to cater to users with varying budget constraints and technical skill sets. Open-source options offer strong functionality for basic SFTP needs. Paid options provide additional features like scripting, advanced security, or cloud storage integration.</li> <li><strong>Platform compatibility</strong>: Platform compatibility is another important consideration. We selected tools that work on Windows, Linux, or both. </li> <li><strong>Usability</strong>: I considered the user-friendliness of the tools, recognizing that some users might be network administrators comfortable with command-line tools, while others might have more basic IT needs.</li> <li><strong>Reputation and user reviews</strong>: The client's reputation and positive user reviews can indicate its reliability and effectiveness. Factors such as excellent customer support, ongoing development, and maintenance contribute significantly to shaping this reputation. </li> </ul><h2 style="text-align:justify"><strong>1. <a href="http://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/solar-putty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">SolarWinds Solar-PuTTY</a></strong></h2> <p style="text-align:justify"><strong><img alt="Solarwinds Solar-Putty" height="520" src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/u/1274431/Solarwinds-SolarPutty.jpg" width="1600"></strong></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><a href="https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/solar-putty" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1155cc">SolarWinds Solar-PuTTY</span></a> is a free, standalone tool for Windows that lets you securely transfer files over a network. It's based on the popular PuTTY software. Solar-PuTTY can handle various network protocols like SSH, Telnet, SCP, and SFTP. Solar-PuTTY takes all the good things from PuTTY and adds lots of great new features.</p> <p style="text-align:justify"><strong>Key features:</strong></p> <ul><li><strong>Manage multiple sessions</strong>: Supports multiple active connections within a single instance, each with its own tab for easy navigation and management. </li> <li><strong>Tab color customization</strong>: Allows you to change tab colors to distinguish between different environments, reducing the risk of accidental changes to critical servers.</li> <li><strong>Credential management</strong>: Securely save usernames, passwords, and private keys for automated authentication across sessions, including Telnet connections.</li> <li><strong>Post-connection scripts</strong>: Automate repetitive tasks by saving scripts to be executed after connecting to servers or devices, streamlining workflow efficiency.</li> <li><strong>Auto-reconnecting capability</strong>: Ensures uninterrupted workflow by automatically reconnecting sessions upon disconnection, eliminating the need for manual session closures.</li> </ul><h4 style="text-align:justify"><strong>Why is it recommended?</strong></h4> <p style="text-align:justify">Solar-PuTTY builds upon the established security and functionality of the trusted PuTTY SSH client. It adds a graphical user interface (GUI) on top of PuTTY's command line. I found that this makes it significantly easier to use for file transfers, directory browsing, and file/folder management on remote servers, especially for those less comfortable with command lines.</p> <h4 style="text-align:justify"><strong>Who is it recommended for?</strong></h4> <p style="text-align:justify">Solar-PuTTY is recommended for network administrators who primarily work in Windows environments due to its streamlined file transfer workflows and integration features with Windows. If you're already familiar with PuTTY for secure terminal access but would prefer a more visual approach for file transfer tasks, Solar-PuTTY provides a familiar base with a user-friendly GUI.  </p> <div class="pro-con-list-wrapper"> <div class="pro-con-list pro-list"> <h3 class="pro-con-list-title">Pros:</h3> <ul><li><strong>Free and easy to use</strong>: Being a free tool with a user-friendly interface, Solar-PuTTY is a good option for those new to SFTP file transfers or those comfortable with PuTTY but wanting a more visual approach.</li> <li><strong>No installation needed</strong>: Easily runnable from a single file without installation, enabling portability via USB flash drives.</li> <li><strong>Windows integration</strong>: Seamlessly integrates with Windows Search, taskbar, and start bar, allowing quick access to sessions via search queries, pinned shortcuts, and recent session lists.</li> </ul></div> <div class="con-list pro-con-list"> <h3 class="pro-con-list-title">Cons:</h3> <ul><li><strong>Windows platform restriction</strong>: Being limited to the Windows platform may pose challenges for users who work across different operating systems or prefer cross-platform solutions.</li> </ul></div> </div> <p>A <a href="https://www.solarwinds.com/free-tools/solar-putty/registration" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> <span style="color:#1155cc">free download</span></a> is available. </p> <h2 style="text-align:justify"><strong>2. <a href="http://www.progress.com/ftp-client" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Progress WS_FTP Pro</a></strong></h2> <p style="text-align:justify"><strong><img alt="WS_FTP" height="672" src="https://www.bleepstatic.com/images/news/u/1274431/WS-FTP-PROGRESS.jpg" width="1600"></strong></p> <p style="text-align:justify"><a href="https://www.progress.com/ftp-client" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1155cc">Progress WS_FTP Pro</span></a> is a Windows based commercial SFTP client designed for professional users who need robust features for secure file transfer, automation, and advanced management functionalities.
