WinSCP

WinSCP is a free Windows file transfer application used to copy data to and from a remote host.

WinSCP is installed on all UMIACS-supported Windows workstations.

For all other Windows hosts, WinSCP can be downloaded from https://winscp.net/eng/index.php.

Logging Into WinSCP

When launching WinSCP, it will ask you to login to a remote host.

To access a UMIACS directory:

• For the File protocol, select SFTP.
