Basically,they are both free and widely used clients for SSH and SCP respectively i.e putty for ssh and winscp for scp

--WinSCP is for file transfer to and from your server ,WinSCP is a file transfer application using Secure FTP

--while PuTTY is used to interact with the server directly. Putty is just a command line interface to your server. .
