Re: What "secure" file transfer products do you use on Windows?

We use Putty as a client. We're also looking at FileZilla.

I've been recommending a commercial product for servers.

I'm reluctant to recommend cygwin because of the attack
surface and need to patch software unfamiliar to Windows
administrators.

I'm reluctant to recommend freesshd on production platforms
due to lack of source code. I also see that its support may
be faltering:
