No reason you can’t use it at home. It’s a stand-alone program. There is always the licensing issue, but if you have legal access to it, its should work fairly well.

WinSCP allows me to access my Linux files in the same way that Windows Explorer provides access to my Window’s files. I can browse, drag-and-drop, and double-click to open a file in a Notepad-like window - and it’s fast. Once WinSCP has been configured to use a certificate for authentication, I no longer need to provide a userid/password. I just launch the program and I’m ready to start browsing. – Kevin Boyle Calgary, Alberta Canada
