Scp Gui Client
From Luke Jackson
SCP GUI client for altering two remote file systems. This program is a GUI based SCP (Secure CoPy) client. It utilizes three windows for three file systems, allowing files to be copied between them, as well as files in each to be deleted, edited, or renamed either. The Secure copy (SCP) is a protocol to transfer files via a Secure Shell connection. The SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP) is a related protocol, also relying on a secure shell back-end. Both protocols allow secure file transfers, encrypting passwords and transferred data. The SFTP protocol, however, features additional capabilities like, for example, resuming broken transfers or remote file. The PuTTY Secure Copy client (PSCP) is a command line tool that you can use to transfer files between your Windows computer and your Linux instance. If you prefer a graphical user interface (GUI), you can use an open source GUI tool named WinSCP.

Summary
There is no built-in Graphical User Interface (GUI) client for scp on Mac OS X.
There for this tutorial describes how to configure your Mac for GUI based scp.
Requirements
- Mac OS X
- Fugu GUI SCP Client - Download
Install Fugu
Installing .DMG Applications on Mac OS X is very simple. Simply drag the icon from the .DMG image window into your Applications folder and you are done.

Connecting
Once you have installed Fugu simply enter the information into the fields provided.
- Connect: Server Address
- User Name: Login ID
- Port: SCP port number (Default port 22)
- Directory: Starting directory (Optional)
After you click connect Fugu will attempt to authenticate with the server based on the servers installed mechanisms. This simply means that if you are not using Public Key Authentication it will fall back to password authentication and prompt you for your password.
Public Key Authentication
If you have many different servers that you have to connect to on a daily basis it may be more effective for you to use Public Key Authentication. With this feature enabled you are able to securely authenticate to servers with out typing in a password. Unfortunately in order to use it you will have to configure you server and client to support it.
WinSCP is an open source free SSH client for Windows with the focus on secure file transfer. You can get it from WinSCP download page. Latest stable WinSCP version is 5.17.10.
An SSH client is a software which uses the SSH protocol to connect to a remote computer.
In general SSH protocol can be used for two purposes, file transfers and terminal access.
File transfers are primary focus of WinSCP.
WinSCP supports SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) for secure file transfers. In addition to that it also supports legacy SCP (Secure Copy Protocol).
You can use WinSCP to transfer files both manually and automatically.
While WinSCP does not focus on terminal access, it has basic support for it.
You can execute remote commands via SSH terminal both manually and automatically.
If you need unrestricted terminal access (and still want to use WinSCP for file transfers), you will find integration with PuTTY SSH client useful. This free Telnet and SSH client for Windows can be also downloaded from our PuTTY download page.
