Winscp is graphical user interface for doing various file operations, deployment, server configuration on Linux VM easily. Kindly follow below steps to connect to the Linux VM hosted in public cloud. In my case, I used Oracle Cloud VM for example.
Details of the Cloud Infrastructure:

To configure,
Click New Site, In the right pane give the Host name, Username and click Advanced
