WinSCP_On_Wine

How to install WinSCP on Wine in Linux, or other OS's that support Wine.

• winscp.sh
• WinSCP.desktop
• WinSCP-Logo.png
• Note: This folder will need to r
• cd to this directory in a terminal window for the balance of steps

export WINEARCH=win64; export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_winscp
mkdir -p $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/apps/winscp

Ensure Windows version is set to windows 7 (thats all)

• Download Portable executables version of WinSCP from https://winscp.net
  • CLI Trick to open in default file manager % xdg-open $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/apps/winscp
• Manually copy over files over to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/apps/winscp

sudo cp ./winscp.sh /usr/local/bin/winscp
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/winscp

To verify, try running the following from commandline: winscp

• This should launch winscp GUI

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons && cp ./WinSCP-Logo.png ${HOME}/.local/share/icons/
desktop-file-install --dir=${HOME}/.local/share/applications ./WinSCP.desktop

That should be it, If you don't see the WinSCP key when you hit the Super key, toggle the Super key another time and that should do it
