I'm using Putty SSH client to connect to my Raspberry Pi (w/ Raspbian) from my windows 10 computer. Now that I'm in, I'd like to be able to copy my file from my windows computer's desktop called file.txt, to my Raspberry Pi's desktop. How can I do this?

You need an SCP client to transfer the files. It is not embedded into the PuTTY graphical client, but you can run a command-line tool pscp.exe distributed with PuTTY.
Open the command-line on the Windows machine and run the following (assuming file.txt is in the current directory):
"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pscp.exe" file.txt pi@your_pi:Desktop/
It will transfer the file to the Desktop directory inside the home directory of the user pi.
A suitable way would be to set up a vsftpd server using sudo apt-get install vsftpd. Then use a windows ftp client to connect and transfer that way.
