Sftp is great, and also loaded up by default is 'scp', which is the Secure 'copy' program. From *nix to *nix, it is an effective way to copy files to/from remote computers just as if they were local file systems:
From local to remote
# scp thisfile [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/steve
and to copy from remote to local:
# scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/steve/thisfile /home/steve
Agreed - I use scp a lot for copying files and directories between machines.
There's also a great command-line scp client available for windows called pscp available from http://www.putty.org.uk/download.html along with PuTTY itself which is IMHO the best free windows SSH client available.

Additionally, there is winscp, http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/ which is a windows scp and sftp intereface, optionally importing it's setting from putty.
As a pre-warning, to avoid chasing the bugs i did when i decided to use sftp, sftp and scp require a clean login, so if you for instance run a shell script from your .profile (or similar), make sure it only runs on interactive logins.
