When your destination server is only reachable via internal network paths or blocked by geographic filters, using a proxy allows WinSCP to bypass firewalls and route traffic through allowed IPs. RapidSeedbox proxies give you flexible IP selection for global access.
Using a proxy with WinSCP ensures your real IP is hidden during file transfers, reducing traceability in sensitive environments. This is especially useful for cybersecurity teams, penetration testers, or developers accessing protected environments.
For security-first environments, SOCKS5 proxies work seamlessly with WinSCP to route only specific traffic (like your SFTP session), without affecting system-wide internet settings. Our proxies offer full SOCKS5 compatibility and IPv6 support.
Launch WinSCP and start a new session. Under the Login window, enter your hostname, port, protocol (usually SFTP or FTP), and credentials. Then click on the Advanced button to open more configuration options.
Navigate to Connection > Proxy in the left-hand menu. Choose your proxy type (e.g., SOCKS5 or HTTP), enter the proxy IP address and port, and fill in any necessary authentication details. RapidSeedbox proxies support both SOCKS5 and HTTP for WinSCP.
Click OK to return to the main session window. Save the session if needed, then hit Login. Your connection will now route through the proxy, masking your IP and allowing access to remote servers even under firewalls or geo-blocks.
