replace WinSCP with FileZilla - is this possible?

Question

well i am a admirer of the superb WinSCP (see http://winscp.net ) FTP-client for many years. Several months i switched to Linux - now i run a OpenSuse 11.4.

Question - can i replace WinSCP with FileZilla - is this possible

Well i did not yet got started with and adequate GUI-alternative that replaces WinSCP. In fact - WinSCP is one of the main reason i still have a windows box here in my office! Question: are there any alternatives for WinSCP on OpenSuse 11.4 - perhaps filezilla?

Another question: can i port over the keys from WinSCP to Filezilla - is this possible!? Is it difficult!?

look forward to hear from you

Answer 1

FileZilla, in my opinion, is the best (S)FTP client. After WinSCP that is. Using WinSCP on my job just because it has SCP support. Don't know of any other GUI tool which has SCP support, both on Windows an Unix/Linux OS.

Also, as far as I know there is no method for importing public SSH key in FileZilla (http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Howto).
