winscpcom

WinSCPcom is a component that allows programmatic control of the WinSCP file transfer client. WinSCP itself is a free and open-source SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3 and SCP client for Windows. WinSCPcom enables developers to automate file transfer operations, such as uploading, downloading, and synchronizing files, without requiring manual interaction with the WinSCP graphical user interface.

The component is typically used by embedding it within scripting languages like PowerShell, VBScript, or Python, or by integrating it into custom applications. This allows for automated deployment, backup processes, or data synchronization tasks. WinSCPcom exposes a COM interface, making it accessible from applications that support COM automation. This includes languages like C#, VB.NET, Delphi, and others.

Key functionalities provided by WinSCPcom include establishing connections to remote servers using various protocols, navigating remote directories, transferring files and directories in both directions, and managing remote files (e.g., renaming, deleting). It also supports scripting capabilities within WinSCP, allowing for more complex logic to be executed remotely. The use of WinSCPcom can significantly streamline workflows that involve repetitive file transfer operations across different systems.
