For Windows and Linux.

Am on a Mac so cannot test, but what is the advantage of this over WinSCP, Filezilla and Cyberduck (IIRC the "old guard" FOSS SCP clients)?

I don’t think Java is on a Mac by default anymore.

According to the README it's not just an SFTP client, it's providing a combined UI for various remote operations, all executed over SSH. Text editing, system resource monitoring of the remote host (eg. disk space, CPU, locating files), as well as a terminal emulator for good old shell usage. Seems pretty nifty to me, to have all that in one place.
