there's a pscp.exe available on Putty website if you havent downloaded the full package, you can use it just like scp.

I typed scp, it shown the parameter; but I don't know how to use it!
Could you brief me how to use this command?

scp ....

Its the same as cp except that when you want to specify a remote host you use user@host:/path/to/file (host has to be running sshd, can either be an ip address or hostname/fqdn)
For example if you want to download the file /home/user/myfile from a remote machine you'd use

Code:

pscp user@host:/home/user/myfile .

Oh, in that case ssh into your machine then execute something like:

Code:

wget ftp://ftp8.us.postgresql.org/postgre...l-7.4.3.tar.gz
