FTP/SFTP Client alternatives are worth considering when the incumbent gets expensive, restrictive, or invasive.
Cyberduck handles SFTP, FTP, S3, B2, OneDrive, and Google Drive in one window. It’s the standard pick on macOS but the Windows build is just as capable and integrates with the OS file dialog.
If you currently rely on WinSCP and want more control over data, lower long-term costs, or a open-source licensing model, Cyberduck covers most of the same ground.
Most open-source alternatives require more setup than their commercial counterparts and may lag on polish, mobile apps, or ecosystem integrations. Check the project’s documentation for current feature parity with WinSCP before committing.
