Re: Uploading files using WinSCP

The purpose of this tutorial is to teach you how to upload and download files using the FTP program WinSCP. We will assume that you have WinSCP running on your computer, and are connected to a remote server at this time. The main screen consists of two windows. The left window is the local host, or your computer. The right hand window is the remote server, which is your web site, or wherever you connect to.

First let's upload or transfer files from our computer to a remote server. In the left hand window, the local host, select the file(s) you want to upload to the remote server. To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL (Control) key, while selecting your files. Below the windows, locate a list of actions, one of which is F5 Copy. Click Copy. The Copy window will open, and you will click on Copy again. The files have now been uploaded to the remote server, as you can see in the window.

To download a file from the remote server to the local host, or your local computer, select the file in the right hand window. Then click F5 Copy, which will open the Copy window. Click Copy again. That's all there is to it...the file is now downloaded to the local host, and is able to be viewed in the left hand window. You now know how to upload and download files and folders using the FTP program WinSCP.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to upload and download files and folders using the WinSCP program.
