yes,

  1. Download the pscp.exe file from PuTTy.org. Click the file name and save it to your computer. If you want a PuTTY shell program, download and install putty.exe as well.

  2. At the Windows command prompt, enter:

    pscp source_file_name userid@server_name:/path/destination_file_name.

For example:

c:\>pscp june06extract wrhse@warehouse.cit.cornell.edu:/mydata/june06extract.

When prompted, enter your password for the server.
