I love WinSCP for Windows. What are the best equivalent softwares for linux?
I tried to use sshfs to mount the remote file system on my local machine, but it is not as user friendly as simply launching a GUI, plus it seems to require root access on the client machine, which is not very convenient.
Of course command line tools such as scp are possible, but I am looking for a simple GUI.
Thanks!
Filezilla is available for Linux. If you are using Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install filezilla
Otherwise, download it here:

If you're using Gnome, you can go to: Places->Connect to Server and choose SSH. If you have a SSH agent running and configured, no password will be asked! (This is the same as sftp://root@servername/directory in Nautilus)
In Konqueror, you can simply type: fish://servername.
I'm really interested in finding some replace of winSCP for Linux, but... Come on!! Some of you guys have really used WinSCP?? WinSCP is far beyond any simple SSH transfers GUI like Filezilla, gFTP, etc!!
I haven't found any alternative to WinSCP in Linux. I think the best shot is FISH with Konqueror. And even that isn't so smart.
I work with Linux and need to access to many servers through SSH. Now I have a vmware WinXP machine only for WinSCP. So try to understand how powerful WinSCP can be.
I don't want to write here the amazing features and posibilities of WinSCP, so please, if you're not a WinSCP power user, don't post!!
LoL just install wine and install winscp thats what i did and it works great no problems
One big thing not mentioned is the fact that with WinSCP you can also use key file authentication which I am unable to do successfully with Ubuntu FTP clients. KFTPGrabber is the closest thing I can find that supports key file authentication... but it still doesn't work for me, where WinSCP does.
