You use PSCP.EXE instead of PUTTY.EXE from a Windows' "cmd" prompt.
That's probably awful, if you're looking for something with fancy,
colourful GUI buttons, but it has certainly saved my a$$ a few times :)
http://winscp.net/ is a nice GUI scp and sftp client for Windows.
Many thanks! I don't use Windows, unless I'm *REALLY* forced to do so,
because I almost invariably find the whole experience extremely annoying
and distracting from the work I really want to do, but this will be
useful to know for any future occasions I'm forced to use Windows :)
I don't use it either, if there's a FreeBSD box within walking
distance, or perhaps even a short drive; but most of my
clients do, so I'm pretty familiar with it, as so many of us are.
I do have a win2k laptop that needs to be "converted" as
soon as I can buy a newer one for wifey. I'm doing it kind
of piecemeal ATM, though :D
I have installed an X server over the win2k installation,
and cygwin, and bash, some other 'Nix like tools; I can
occasionally *almost* feel at home now, but there is also
a slightly 'out of place' feeling to the whole experience ...
especially when you realize that you are running a
windowing system over the top of another windowing
system because you **know** that it is, technically, superior;
sort of like "french kissing your sister" (which I *don't*
know from experience, but it's an occasionally used
comparison here in the US) ... (ugh!)
