Pretty much those same tried and true programs. I've never tried KiTTY though. I also use WinMerge for file compare. I know there's the compare plugin for Notepad++ but WinMerge can do Word & Excel files too so I've just stuck with it. Also 7-Zip for compressed files.

A tool missing in the standard Windows library is to calculate MD5 or SHA1 sums.

Microsoft have released a solution for that, called File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility (FCIV).
You can download it here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/841290


In the CLI you can also run md5sum on a file like so:


root@Shield:/tmp# md5sum hotfix_160309-FINAL.tgz
85a06650bfe47bf4d0c0bf641c0c35b7  hotfix_160309-FINAL.tgz
root@Shield:/tmp#


This "85a06650bfe47bf4d0c0bf641c0c35b7"-code allows you to check if the download is matching the original file or not.
If it does not match, redownload or contact the file creator.
No more: Shield Pro v1, Chaos Calmer, FW 1.51 SP1

Windows 10 does have CRC and SHA built in by right clicking the file

I run Linux, so I was able to take care of all the CLI SSH SCP tasks via my terminal window & Bash.

I did download and ran putty for linux, but I ended up just working in my linux terminal window instead.
