Our Review:

Bitvise SSH Client (Tunnelier) is very well on its way to becoming my definite client of choice.

It's a fast SSH client with a basic FTP client strapped on. The main reason for using it is that over SFTP it's many times quicker than FileZilla, which is vital when you are sending larger files.

I have been testing it extensively, and can only say that it WORKS, and very well. Faultlessly transferring files of 4, 5, and 6 GB and resuming broken transfers seamlessly.

It also offers a terminal connection over SSH that can be initiated at the same time as your SFTP / FTP connection. XTerm and X11 work 100% and even the remote desktop gave no problem at all.

I can fully recommend using this client, and have switched all MY personal use on Windows 7 over to it. The user interface is very easy to use if you are used to FileZilla, also operating on a splitscreen supporting drag-and-drop for easy transfer of files.
