Yes, I do understand that there are other alternatives.
But the killer option for me is that winscp remembers where I left off when I last connected to the remote connection. - You see, I am all for automation...

It saves me much aggravation.

PS: WinSCP has become my default FTP client as well.

PPS: Am glad to see that WinSCP v4.1.4 (Build 407) installs and works well with wine 1.0rc5 on ubuntu

Nautilus

You guys DO realise that the Nautilus file manager in Ubuntu can mount an SSH server as a native drive, and you can manage remote files just like one of your own drives? It's alot faster than WinSCP thru Wine.

Open Nautilus, go File - Connect to Server, and choose Service type: SSH. The rest should be pretty self explanatory, though you may have to specify your remote home drive (eg: /home/username) if your remote host does not allow list of /home

You can also bookmark it, and it will appear in the Nautilus Places sidebar for you to double click on every time you need access to your remote files.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
Can it deal with key-based authentication ?

It certainly can, just set everything up as per a usual SSH key. As I understand, it just uses ssh-agent in the backgrund. As long as you can logon in a terminal window with your key, Nautilus can login that way as well.

You do realize that Nautilus can not deal with SCP right? WinSCP can work with scp and sftp whereas Nautilus can only work with sftp.

Functionally, to an end user who posts here, they are the same thing. I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find a server which runs only SCP, and not SFTP.

Also: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy
"For example, WinSCP defaults to the SFTP protocol. Even when operating in SCP mode, clients like WinSCP are typically not pure SCP clients, as they must use other means to implement the additional functionality (like the ls command)... More comprehensive tools for managing files over SSH are SFTP clients."

For our end users, the difference between SCP and SFTP is that when loading the contents of a large directory on a server (over 25,000 files), SCP can list the contents in under 20 seconds but SFTP takes anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.

I need to work with AIX servers that have no other means of communication with the outside world other than SSH and SCP (There is an enterprise wide DFS but that's not an ideal solution for quickly editing files... believe me I've tried)

Admittedly I could use sshfs, but I actually prefer a proper client app like WinSCP, and WinSCP is simply the best I've found...

Have a look into autofs. It's an automounter and dismounter for any FUSE mountpoint (sshfs, smb, nfs, etc). You setup the mount and it just transparently times out when not in use. This way you can use any file manager or editor (nautilus, filezilla, gedit, vi, whatever) to access your remote files transparently.

It's not a direct client app but it lets you use a Linux-native client app to manage your files. Maybe it will suit your needs?
