Sending and retrieving files across the web is best done with
the data being encrypted. This prevents "packet sniffers" or
nosy people sussing out what your personal details are, and
the exactly what the files you are moving contain.
There are many scp clients. I just chose this one 'cos it was
the first google spat out at me. BTW: This is for people using
a windows computer at home.
There's a great shpiel on the site where you can download
WinSCP 2.0 Beta from: http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/
If you have any problems, feel free to email catgeek and ask
questions.
Once you've downloaded (and unzipped if you downloaded the
.zip file) you should be ready to use this program in the same
way you would ftp.
The Basic page is where you enter the hostname
(conway.cat.org.au), username (your login) and passwd (your
passwd :) Don't worry about the private key file.
click on the login button and you should see your local files
and remote server (conway) files in your home directory.
(assuming you're using the norton commander interface)...
check out the interface tab on the login screen if you're not
sure what i mean.
