Can you transfer files using PuTTY?

PuTTY pscp (or scp) provides a file transfer application for Secure Shell (SSH) to copy files either between two directories on the configuration node or between the configuration node and another host.

Can I use SSH to transfer files?

Copying files via SSH uses the SCP (Secure Copy) protocol. SCP is a method of securely transferring files and entire folders between computers and it is based on the SSH protocol that it's used with. Using SCP a client can send (upload) files securely to a remote server or request (download) files.

This is probably not a direct answer to what you're asking, but when I need to transfer files over a SSH session I use WinSCP, which is an excellent file transfer program over SCP or SFTP. Of course this assumes you're on Windows.
