- Our today’s topic is “How To Download WinSCP For Mac”. Officially WinSCP is not available for Mac, so you cannot use it until it is not officially released from the platform. However for the better use, there are other alternative ways, each method is better than other, these methods enables you to use WinSCP and the same functionality as WinSCP.
- WinSCP alternative for OS X (that supports sudo and without virtualizing WinSCP) closed. WinSCP did all these things previously for me, Allowed me to log in, edit a file locally, and every time I save, it sends the file to the remote server. WinSCP port for Mac is the only solution for a while.

WinSCP installed Putty on Wine by default, which was good because I needed Puttygen to convert my Mac's private SSH key to.ppk format; I loaded the key in WinSCP and using the VPN connection already set up on my Mac, WinSCP is running just fine.

WinSCP program for Mac
WinSCP is a great program for Windows that will give you a GUI interface to manage files on a remote server when all you can use to connect is SSH. Having grown fond of this program a colleague was sad to find there was no version for MAC. After playing with several different options, they ended up settling on using the FireFTP extension for Firefox and connecting via SFTP to the remote server. To setup FireFTP to use SFTP on the MAC you need to do a few things first.
1. Install the Xcode 3.0 Developer Tools found on your Apple’s Install Disc in the “Optional Installs” folder (Optional Installs->Xcode Tools->XcodeTools.mpkg) or at https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=19897 (beware: it’s a 1 GB download)
2. Then you need to install MacPorts: https://www.macports.org/install.php
3. Open up a Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
4. At the prompt type: sudo port install putty (this may take some time)
5. (you may be asked for a password)
6. Connect with FireFTPJust provide you SSH credentials and setup the SFTP connection and once you connect you will be in your home directory. You are now connected to your server with a secure FTP connection and can manage files with a gui instead of the command line, all from your browser none the less. Why FireFTP requires Putty on the MAC is beyond me since it has openssh and sftp built in. Oh well, it would be nice is SFTP work from the finder when it works from the command prompt…UPDATE: Even better now, you can use a program called Filezilla that will easily allow you to do the exact same thing as winscp.Leave a reply
