In Windows I use WinSCP to transfer files server-side. It has a very attractive feature that I like best: keeping remote folders up to date.
WinSCP is a freeware and open source SFTP, SCP and FTP client software for Windows. Key function of the WinSCP is to provide secure file transferring between a local and a remote computer. WinSCP by Martin Prikryl is one of the most popular, powerful and safe FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients, but when you start working under Mac OS X, it is no longer a viable solution. If you need an application similar to WinSCP for Mac, you can check this list of alternatives to find a replacement. I'm a recent convert to the Mac, and I'm finding that the one piece of software which keeps me going to my Windows bootcamp is WinSCP.For those not familiar with it, WinSCP is an open source SFTP, SCP, and FTP client that also offers SSH terminal access.Browsing of local and remote files is a breeze, whilst it also offers file viewing and editing from within the application. WinSCP, which is short for Windows Secure Copy, is a free and open source utility for Microsoft Windows that allows users to securely transfer files from and to a Window computer and a remote computer, such a Linux server. WinSCP is another open source alternative for file transfers using FTP protocols. It has an easy to use graphical interface, supports secure protocols for transfers (SFTP, SCP, FTPS and FTP), allows connections and transfers between a computer and a remote server/computer.
This means, whenever my local file is changed, WinScp will replace the same file on the server with this new file.
Could you suggest me software that support this feature?

Nautilus the default file browser has the feature of mounting remote files.
Go to File Menu > Connect to Server.
Other than that

Since you are familiar with Winscp on Windows, I suggest that you try filezilla
FileZilla Client is a fast and reliable cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with lots of useful features and an intuitive graphical user interface.
You can also install with the command line. Open terminal Ctrl+Alt+T and run following command:
Or search on Filezilla in Ubuntu Software Center.
When you add a host, be sure to change from FTP to SFTP, and changethe port number to ssh port 22 (or other custom ssh port if different)
Make the account type interactive.
Enjoy.

You could also use
sshfs
or rsync
. sshfs
mounts your remote directory locally over ssh very similar to WinSCP and Nautilus.The potential advantage of
sshfs
is that you can map usersTo automate the process, add an entry in fstab
See Ubuntu Wiki SSHFS
rsync
will also sync files / directories and will work over ssh and has a graphical front end, grsync
See Ubuntu wiki rsync
Best free git gui client for mac. Last you can edit remote files with
vim

You can still use winscp under wine. I am doing the same, and it works very good.

You want 'scp'. The original scp :-)

Oops, I spoke too soon.. you have requirement of syncing as well. In that case, rsync. Active client for mac.
However, scp is still good for scripts and automation.

There are many different tools which would give a similar experience as winscp. I use filezilla for transferring files across ssh.
Nautilus as mentioned by @sagarchalise allows for connecting to server.
One of the things I use more often these days to access sftp is sshfs. I find it very convenient as it mounts the files as local file in the filesystem and transparently updates it on the remote server.
sshfs [email protected]:/path/to/remote/files /path/to/local/mountpoint/
It lets me use all my usual tools assuming these file are local files.

You can also try unison to help synchronize the two folders

A very nice and powerful program, built over the
rsync
protocol, is Unison. Open Ssh For Mac
It has a very nice interface, and the client is available for at least Linux (more or less all variants) and Windows. The basic behavior is very easy to grasp, with a graphic interface and easy configuration, and if you need to do more complex things, you can manually edit the configuration files and/or script it.
It has been my backup/mirroring/uploading utility in the last five year at least, and never saw a bug or missed a file.
You can install it with
and for a smooth behavior, you should have configured a working connection with your endpoint (I normally use ssh connections).

I recommend PCManFM
sudo apt-get install pcmanfm
Just another File Manager but features a mini GUI for connections (in main menu Go --> Connect to server) and there you go. You can bookmark your connections and you can just right click files and chose 'open with..'.

I'd suggest SecPanel https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/saucy/secpanel/ especially if you're using 13.10.

I found one good standalone alternative, free, opensource, mucommander, but java based, your system need to have jvm to run it.
Why I went for mucommander (I am using RHEL6 with ristrictions)?
1st I tried to connect with nautilus, but it failed to connect.
2nd I tried to use various s/w like filezilla, Unison , but nothing was standalone, and faced many compilation and rights issue.

To run WinSCP under Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), follow these steps:
1)
sudo apt-get install wine
(run this one time only, to get 'wine' in your system, if you haven't it)2) download 'https://winscp.net/'
Mac os x remote desktop client for microsoft windows computers. 3) make a folder and put the content of zip file in this folder
4) open a terminal
5) type
sudo su
6) type
wine WinSCP.exe
Done! WinSCP will run like in Windows environment!
Best regards.

I don't know Windows very well and only vaguely know my way around the Command Prompt.
Is there an equivalent to SSHing into another Windows computer via cmd? Equivalents to SCP and other Linux commands would be nice as well.

PowerShell comes with Remoting capabilities in WinRM:
In XP, you could use PSExec, but this is only recommended over secure LANs:

In order to connect another Windows computer using SSH, an SSH server would have to be running on the that computer. SSH isn't part of Windows, so this would have to be installed and configured. Take a look at Cygwin if this is what you're interested in doing. (Cygwin will also provide you a more familiar feeling command-line SSH, as well as other familiar Unix tools.)
If you're looking for the 'Windows way' of doing these things, have a look at Remote Desktop (although it is graphical, not command-line based).
You can enable Remote Access on the target machine which will allow you to connect to it with Remote Desktop. You can also transfer files back and forth by mapping a drive back to your own computer if you configure your connection to allow access to local resources.

I've always felt uncomfortable advising the use of Cygwin for one single function. There is an alternative, however: freeSSHd. The project, unfortunately, is quite inactive, but it should be a match to Cygwin, especially if you don't want to clutter your PATH and other variables.
When installed and configured, you can use PuTTY for ssh access.

+1 The PuTTY developer also provides pscp (for scp) psftp (for sftp) and several other programs for agents etc. (See the Downloads section for details on the programs) For more traditional *nix commands, you can download Cygwin (which also has scp etc.) or, if you're trying to transition into the windows world depending on your windows version, powershell can make the transition, from a scripting and command aliasing position, a little less painful.
