putty has an scp command line client program as part of the package if
you download the whole thing and not just putty.exe

There is an excellent scp program called WinSCP3 link below.

I gave this list of SCP clients to a client of mine - in case anyone has
better alternatives...

Macintosh OS9
Suggest Nifty-Telnet
<http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jonasw/freeware/niftyssh/>

or

MacSSH
<http://pro.wanadoo.fr/chombier/MacSSH/SSH_info.html>

Macintosh OS X
Try Fugu
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15693>

Windows
WinSCP
<http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/>
