Mike, by adding the lib and lib/bin into my Windows PATH did the trick so I'm
able to globus-url-copy command for local copies:
C:\Users\Hugo.Hernandez\Programs\Globus\bin> SET
PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\Hugo.Hernandez\Programs\Globus\lib;C:\Users\Hugo.Hernandez\Programs\Globus\lib\bin
then
C:\Users\Hugo.Hernandez\Programs\Globus\bin> globus-url-copy -vb -dbg
file://C:/Users/Hugo.Hernandez/Downloads/Capture.JPG
file://C:/Users/Hugo.Hernandez/TestFile.JPG
Source: file://C:/Users/Hugo.Hernandez/Downloads/Capture.JPG
Dest: file://C:/Users/Hugo.Hernandez/TestFile.JPG
Capture.JPG -> TestFile.JPG
I tried to be optimistic with sshftp by adding into the PATH libexec and
libexec/bin but it didn't work. Got this error message:
error: globus_ftp_client: an invalid value for url was used
Question, where can I get the Globus Toolkit MinGW Windows client source code
so we can look on it?
Thanks much!

Subject: Re: [gt-user] Using GridFTP on Windows hosts
In order to run most of the commands from the mingw build, you'll need to add
lib, and lib/bin to the PATH, or copy *.dll to the bin directory.
However, sshftp will not work with the mingw client builds. sshftp requires
executing a local ssh command and streaming the GridFTP connection over that.
That is not implemented with native builds.
sshftp should work with the cygwin builds and the cygwin-provided ssh.exe.
