WinSCP sucks. Anyone have an alternate?

Check what connection? I can ping my computer from the iPhone without a drop. Why is WinSCP dropping in the middle of changing directories?
iPhone's on a static IP.
Sometimes WinSCP can't even find the phone, even though Wifi's alive and I can ping my system from the phone. It's not an issue of me entering the IP incorrectly...

For 129 bones, it had better be, y'know?
WinSCP is Free and delicious.
Yeah, the number of drops I'm having is atrocious. Maybe it's my wireless router? I don't seem to have any problems connecting or browsing...
Also I can't test it at work because there's a VPN in place so I can't connect any computer to the iPhone (which connects to an isolated "guest" network).
For example, login will take a long time and sometimes not connect. When it does connect, I will bomb out when going up and down directories. Saving files is 10% successful. 9 failures out of 10. And it has been this way only for the last couple of days. Before that I had NO problems with it like the rest of you
For example, screenshot below is of me logging in then trying to navigate to the Springboard dir.
...also, seems like WinSCP won't even connect unless I specifically go into Safari on the iPhone and access a web page (hit refresh)

Definitely sounds like an issue with your WLAN. I have no such problems with WinSCP.
I usually have 2 WinSCP sessions active on my PC all of the time. I leave them open even when I am away from my PC. When I return to the PC I just need to hit reconnect and WinSCP has no problem reconnecting.
