everyone moved to alternatives

Like? I want to move to an alternative, but nothing reasonably easy to use and deploy on windows comes close FileZilla for performance.

Second +WinSCP.

The moment FileZilla prostituted itself - it's wiped out of my list of any useful tools immediately and forever.

client-side, you can use WinSCP, free, supports SCP, SFTP and FTP protocols. You can also use any piece of software on your computer to edit remote files, you juste have to configure file extensions in the parameters (like MSWord for .doc/.docx, notepad++ for .txt/.log/whatever, etc)

I use WinSCP when I can and quite like it. The big problems is that for some reason it is so much slower at downloading and especially uploading files that it really isn't usable in many cases.
