Switch to PSFTP over PSCP for File Transfer windows #563

(I realise it's a pipe dream)

This would allow a full replacement of the likes of Filezilla/WinSCP, CuteFTP etc. Especially useful for managing multiple machines and could be sold as an 'enterprise' feature.
The big win (read, selling point) would be that you wouldn't need to manage separate saved sessions for WInSCP/FIleZilla/MRemoteNG and SuperPutty. Having a single app for remote boxes would be epic.

Its definitely not a pipe dream! There are other major issues related to using pscp that really need to be addressed (passwords show up in processlist being the biggest one at the moment when keys are not being used).

beirtipol commented 8 years ago

A possible quick win could be adding 'external app' launching as mremoteng does. The embedded vnc/rdp etc. in mRemote is very useful, but the interface is quite clunky so I always preferred SuperPutty. If you could just allow launching any app, you can reparent the window in to a tab which can be moved around.

Whatcha think?

There is an issue where someone had requested that. Its definitely not a bad idea Just haven't had any time to look into what it would take yet.

Hello! I have a question related to this: why kscp.exe (KiTTY scp utility) isn't supported as "scp" executable? I found KiTTY executables very interesting and your "SuperPutty" supports "KiTTY". Also "KiTTY" supports send files directly or through another program (like WinSCP).
