You mention PuTTY; IIRC, Mr. Tatham had also written "psftp", which came with a complete installation of PuTTY and enacted file transfer via SSH protocols on Windows. So, from the "cmd" shell on WinXP, you could utilize psftp to grab files from your FreeBSD server. "psftp" is probably also available (seperately) from the FTP site at: ftp://chiark.greend.org.uk/users/sgtatham That'd be a "pull". There are plenty of other possibilities, I'd think, also. As an example, many Windows FTP clients support SFTP, which operates as an SSH subsystem on FreeBSD, and if you can use PuTTY to log in to a FBSD box, then you should be able to use one of these to "pull" data, as well.
