Free Tools

Here I will publish some free tools that I found them useful. please let me know if you have the same list or any suggestion, I would like to hear them. mostly, I have had experience with most of them or at least I try them or I use them at my work. I can not say they are the best! they are just an opinion :)! what do you think?

WinSCP: One of the best free SFTP, SCP and FTP client for Windows out there! you have a chance to use a portable version as well as the install package. the only limitation is, they have no Mac version 🙁

FileZilla: The free FTP solution. Both a client and a server are available. FileZilla is open source software distributed free of charge under the terms of the GNU General Public License

Veeam Backup Free Edition: Veeam® Backup Free Edition is a must-have FREE tool for ad-hoc virtual machine (VM) backup, restore and management in VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual environments. With no agents to deploy, powerful recovery options and VeeamZIP^™, you get flexibility in options and a reliable solution for important VMs. this one is really one of my favorites. awesome software and most importantly FAST! I mean it. love it.

Veeam Endpoint Backup Free: And endpoint version which you can use to backup your Windows-based desktop and clients! simple and feature-rich, which you can easily backup to an external hard drive, NAS (network-attached storage) share or a Veeam Backup & Replication™ repository. And if your system crashes, the hard drive fails, or a file gets corrupted or accidentally deleted, you can recover what you need in minutes.

VMware Workstation Player: I would say, VMware Workstation is the best client virtualisation software! you can run another operating system on your current host without messing around with your partition and so on. for test reasons and lab. perfect. there is Pro version which is licensed software but the free version is available for non-commercial, personal and home use. We also encourage students and non-profit organisations. of course, the free version has some limitations like Advance Network, run only one VM concurrently. player version is available for Linux and Windows.
