We are assuming that you are using a Windows host, we will download WinSCP & PuTTY. I have worked at multiple employers that never stressed the value of using WinSCP, and I have had colleagues that have told me WinSCP is a waste of time. I finally started using WinSCP in my home lab, afterwards I realized how valuable WinSCP is and I’ll show how & why…
First we need to Download WinSCP and install it.
…and then Download PuTTY and install it.

WinSCP Installation
