Welcome to Stack Overflow! Can you elaborate more in your answer? For example, can you give an example how to use the WinSPC program? Considering that you already have archives in your server that you access using PuttY, right?

You already know this. So now you download and open the winSPC and when it starts, you can log your server in there. After this you can access the folder and select download. It's pretty easy. If you still have question, search on google about the program, or download its handbook.

For example, the command used for this example is:. Open up a command line in Windows. Windows 10 already has SCP installed by default. The color contrasts with the yellow, and syntax highlighting is a nice change from the drab command line.

As you can see, you first need to confirm the connection using the RSA fingerprint of the remote server. Replace [UserName] with your own Windows username. Each RSA fingerprint is added on a new line. This allows you to clear them easily by deleting an entire line at once if you ever need to remove an entry.

Navigate to the location you specified in your SCP command and the file should be visible.
