File transfers can be done using PSCP (Putty Secure CoPy) or by using PSFTP (Putty Secure File Transfer Protocol). PSFTP can be launched from the Windows Start. This assumes you installed PuTTY in C:\Program Files\PuTTY (default). Note the “\” slash.
Left-click inside the PuTTY terminal window near the text you want to copy. Holding down the left mouse button, drag your cursor across the text to select it, then release the button to copy it. Left-click on the destination Windows application where the pasting will occur. Right-click and select Paste or press Ctrl+V.
To copy the files you will need to first invoke the SCP, followed by the remote username@IP address, path to file. If you do not specify the path, it is assumed as default in this case which will be the user's home directory, this will be followed the path where the file will be stored locally.
It worked using PSCP. Instructions:
set PATH=<path to the pscp.exe file> pscp use the following command to copy file form remote server to the local system
pscp [options] [user@]host:source target So to copy the file /etc/hosts from the server example.com as user fred to the file c:\temp\example-hosts.txt, you would type:
pscp [email protected]:/etc/hosts c:\temp\example-hosts.txt One of the putty tools is pscp.exe; it will allow you to copy files from your remote host.
