Is There a Winscp Equivalent for Linux

Is there a WinSCP equivalent for Linux?

If you're using GNOME, you can go to: Places → Connect to Server in Nautilus and choose SSH. If you have an SSH agent running and configured, no password will be asked!
(This is the same as sftp://root@servername/directory in Nautilus)

In Konqueror, you can simply type: fish://servername.

Per Mike R: In Ubuntu 14.04 (with Unity) it’s under Files → Connect to Server in the menu or Network → Connect to Server in the sidebar.

replace WinSCP with FileZilla - is this possible?

FileZilla, in my opinion, is the best (S)FTP client. After WinSCP that is. Using WinSCP on my job just because it has SCP support. Don't know of any other GUI tool which has SCP support, both on Windows an Unix/Linux OS.

Also, as far as I know there is no method for importing public SSH key in FileZilla (http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Howto).

Switching users using WinSCP between different accounts

There is a FAQ for this question on WinSCP site:

How do I change user after login (e.g. su root)?

You need to specify the sudo command in WinSCP session settings, as custom shell (if you are using SCP) or use sudo in custom SFTP server startup command (if you are using SFTP).

Though there are some limitations, notably that you need to configure sudo not to require a password.

See the link for details.
