A pre-release of linscp, a Qt 6 port of WinSCP for Linux and Windows. It runs WinSCP 6.7.1's own core under a new Qt interface. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the WinSCP project.

What's new

  • linscp's own menus and dialogs in every language WinSCP's core can use. Until now they were in English and Brazilian Portuguese only; now there are 53 languages. They follow the language chosen in Preferences > Languages (or --lang=de).
    • Where WinSCP has a translation of the same text (its captions, hints and list columns), it is used, so linscp reads like WinSCP in each language.
    • The rest was translated with WinSCP's terms for that language. These texts have not yet been reviewed by native speakers, so corrections are welcome. Each language is one file, port/qt/translations/linscp_<language>.ts.
    • WinSCP has no Hindi, Albanian or Armenian texts, and few in Afrikaans, Galician, Bengali or Latvian. In these languages linscp's own texts are translated but WinSCP's messages stay mostly in English.
  • Screenshots in the README.

Known issues:

  • In translated menus and dialogs, two items sometimes share the same keyboard shortcut letter. Pressing it again moves between them.
  • Serbian cannot be chosen yet; choosing it gives Croatian.

Not yet: code signing. WinSCP's tips, usage statistics and donor automatic updates are not offered. See the tracker.
