pscp copy file remotely from Windows to Linux

Question

I need to copy file from my Windows XP system to remote Linux system.

Win location : c:\1.txt
LInux location:/tmp

What should be the command?

EDITED: pscp is recognized and OK on my PC.I CAN connect with Putty to this remote Linux PC
remote Linux name is s1,hostname is s1host

I tried transfer file with following command:

pscp C:\1.txt s1@s1host:/tmp

Got:Fatal: Network error: Connection timed out

It's not clear,is command isn't ok?

What have you tried? Running pscp /? will tell you how to run it. Or is pscp not found?

pscp c:\1.txt username@hostname:/tmp

Should do it - substitute username and hostname for those valid for the Linux system.

	i've updated question, tried as you said and got connection timed out – sergionni Mar 11 '11 at 13:59
	That's because your windows PC can't connect to your Linux host for some reason - is ssh at the remote end running on a non standard port? If so you'll also need to use the -P portnumber specificatoon. – cbz Mar 11 '11 at 14:02
	remote PC port is 2222 – sergionni Mar 11 '11 at 14:04
	Then use pscp -P 2222 c:\1.txt username@hostname:/tmp – cbz Mar 11 '11 at 14:05
