Simple SFTP Client is a Windows desktop SFTP client with a dual-pane browser
(local and remote side by side), a background transfer queue with progress and
retry, saved connections, key authentication with a built-in key generator,
folder compare and sync with a preview, and a local-folder upload watcher. It
connects only with modern, secure algorithms and makes no network calls beyond
an optional update check against GitHub.
