WinSCP is a file transfer client with an available single-window or dual-pane interface. The program supports FTP and secure connections including SSH, SSL/TLS, as well as legacy SCP and has a built-in directory synchronization tool to synchronizes changes between local and remote directories. Also supports proxy, SSH tunnels, and IPv6.
Alternatively, WinSCP Portable is multilingual and supports PuTTY Portable.

If anybody doesn't feel like going through the whole configuration process, WinSCPP is a pre-configured bundle of WinSCP + portaPuTTY + Notepad2: http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2002
another way is:
as mentioned
"Download the "Standalone application" single EXE file to a folder of your choice. Rename the file from winscp4xx.exe to winscp.exe (less version dependent)."
Create a winscp.ini in the same folder copy and paste the following in that file
[Configuration\Interface]
RandomSeedFile=.\winscp.rnd
DDTemporaryDirectory=.\
that's it!
To change the language go to http://winscp.net/eng/translations.php
download the zip file of your language (e.g. German) extract that file to the same folder of winscp.exe and make sure the language file has the same name like winscp.exe. For the German file with the ending .de it must be winscp.de.
You can also integrate portaPuTTY (not the same like portable PuTTY from John but better) into WinSCP and what you become is a System Administrators best friend.
Alternative: WinSCP *Portable* is available from portableapps.com.
I don't see why people want to use portable wrapper versions (portableapps.com) of software which is natively portable. Unnecessary wrapper if you ask me.
For the configuration of integrated external apps, there is the environment variable %WINSCP_PATH%
So if you want to use, like me, PlainEdit as an extenal editor, place the entire PlainEdit directory within the WinSCP directory, then edit the path to the external editor as follows:
%WINSCP_PATH%\PlainEdit\PlainEdit.exe !.!
Similarly for portaputty. It then all lives on the USB-stick only!
V4.3.2
chris: There's no need to copy/move your external program directory within WinSCP directory.
In your settings for external program, simply enter a path without the drive letter:
e.g. \Path\To\Program.exe
V4.3.2
@linuxamp I like using Portable Apps because you can update all your apps in a few clicks and if the app is no longer natively portable (or "stealth" for example) the portable apps wrappers would handle that no problem.
v5.1.1
works well on XP ,nice one.
v5.1.1
you can remove the settings registry/file by going to stored sessions > tools > cleanup
