and be done with it. scp is ok if you have keys set up on both
sides and they are unix, but when you're on putty and just want
to dump a file over to the Windows side, what I'd love is to
hit a command and then get a save as prompt on the receiving
end. Or, better yet, run a program right on it too.
At the lowest level, you could use netcat for this (and like a
million other awesome/silly things). An rsync daemon might also
pinch hit here. But it sounds like what you really want is a
writable CIFS mount. Or sshfs.
