There's no magical way in WinSCP to achieve this.
Either you would have to script it, e.g. in PowerShell with use of WinSCP .NET assembly. If you have a basic programming experience, it should not be difficult.

If not, another way to achieve this, is to grab list of all files in your folders and with some easy regex search and replace, convert that list to a set of WinSCP (or shell) mv commands.
Something like:
^(.*)\.\w+$ => mv $1/$0

Alternatively, there are definitely tools that can do this in GUI with local files (I use Renamer plugin of Altap Salamader file manager). So you can download all your files, do the renames/moves with the local files, and re-upload the files back.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance!
