Yes you can install it.

WinSCP is free software: you can use it, redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

You should download, for stability, the final stable version:

WinSCP 4.3.7 installation package from their website.

Great thanks Lucas for your help. – shekhar8282 Mar 23 '12 at 7:27
FWIW, I am currently logged on to a Win2008 R2 server, which has WinSCP version 4.3.2 installed. It works fine, never had any issues with it. As Lucas said, it's probably best to get the latest stable release. – Adam Thompson Mar 23 '12 at 11:30
