WinSCP

WinSCP is the force behind the popular, free, and open-source SFTP and FTP client for Windows. Since its launch in October 2018, this project has achieved a remarkable milestone of over 200 million downloads, demonstrating its widespread use and value within the Windows community. While the project offers its core functionality completely free of charge, a dedicated Patreon community of 80 members (42 paid) supports its ongoing development. This community contributes to WinSCP's continued improvement and maintenance, proving that open-source projects can thrive with community support. The project's unique value lies in its commitment to providing a powerful, free, and reliable file transfer solution for Windows users, a niche often dominated by commercial alternatives. Despite modest current Patreon earnings (estimated at $42-$42 per month), the continued growth of its member base signifies a strong foundation for its future development.
