Using PuTTY

PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for MS Windows along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham.

  • PSCP (an SCP client, i.e. command-line secure file copy)
  • PSFTP (an SFTP client, i.e. general file transfer sessions much like FTP)
