Hi guys, I’m preparing to migrate to Linux soon and I wanted to know what’s the replacement for winscp program on linux. It’s an gui app for running SCP connections and running ftp, SFTP server

    The built in SSH server will handle the SFTP server for you.

    For a GUI program I typically just use Filezilla. It might do SCP (haven’t tried) but it definitely does SFTP and has a good enough GUI. Plus it’s cross platform so you get the same mediocre ass UI everywhere.

      Thanks Filezilla is what I was looking for. It seems like it doesn’t support SCP (saw in comments in alternativeto) but it’s fine for now I really needed SFTP

    Mint’s default file browser has a “connect” menu option that allows you to drag and drop like WinSCP - the only difference is you have to open a second window. You can even bookmark the remote connection. It probably supports SFTP, but I can’t check right now.

        SMB is the linux version of Windows File Sharing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_(software) It is rather easy to use. Check out the manual, it is long but actually good. On linux, use smbclient to mount a remote share. It’s also quite easy to set up servers that can be accessed from both Windows and Linux, with lots of options on how to handle/simplify permissions.

        CIFS is something similar that seems to be faster, but I’ve only used it as a client. On Windows, WinSCP works great with it. On linux you can use mount CIFS remote directories locally like this: mount -t cifs //HOSTNAME/REMOTEPATH LOCALPATH -o username=USERNAME,domain=DOMAIN.

        Ask google or a good LLM for the details on this stuff :)
