Is there any tool which is equivalent to do what WINscp does in Windows?

Winscp is widely used tool in windows to access any Linux/Nix machine to transfer data(files/folders). Its look similar to FTP client such as filezilla client.

Suppose you are in Linux machine and want to mount(connect) a folder similar to WinSCP with SSH protocol, then this post is for you. This tool will work to connect http, https, ftp, samba share protocols etc.
