Designed in 1971, FTP was once the standard way of transmitting files between computers.įast forward a couple of decades, and a new transfer protocol emerged in 1997.

What Are the Benefits of an SFTP Connection?īefore there was SFTP, there was FTP. I have had great luck with recommendation of SFTP Drive. To give credit where credit is due, sean729's recommendation for WinFSP is echoed by recommendation post above. I tried installing on Windows 11 Pro version 22H2, OS build 22621.819, but can't get it to work (can't add it as a new connection type and Windows File Explorer doesn't recognize 'sftp://'). BTW, those that need documentation should use the wayback machine. I couldn't get swish v0.8.2 working on Windows 10 Home (64 bit), so instead went with the commercial/opensource product called WinFSP (Windows File System Proxy) from - which also supports mapping as a drive for NFS and SSH. There is a SourceForge repo shows active download stats, however a reviewer named sean729 posted the following Github repo is alamaison/swish but doesn't appear to have been updated since 2016. I don't have enough reputation to add a comment to post about SWISH: now gives "connection has timed out".įor historical purposes The Wayback Machine took a snapshot of SWISH Jan 24, 2021.
