use winscp. It's much better. You can send/receive file back and forth and it uses SFTP if you choose to. It's drag and drop afterwards.

Virtualization also helps.

With Putty, you can only do "scp", I am not aware you can download files direct from it to your windows PC.

This command below is basically for copying files from your current linux host to remote linux host.
scp -P 2222 *.txt your_username@remotehost.com:/some/remote/directory
