Putty's sftp, but you'd need to make the connection from Windows to Linux (or other box with SSH server), because Windows doesn't come with a SSH server out of the box. Of course you can get a SSH server for Windows (at least some Windows versions), but it's expensive after that you could make file transfer connections over ssh to Windows, but you're probably not willing to pay for the server software..
Actually (desktop) Windows doesn't come with a ftp server software neither, if I'm not mistaken, so actually you can't "push" a file from Linux to Windows too easily. The easiest way I can think of is to make the Windows machine connect to the other machine, and then transfer the file.
The program that will be compatible with Windows that is used in Linux is smbclient. Of course SAMBA needs to be installed.

I do not think that helps at all. There is OpenSSH for Windows which is free. Unfortunately, Cygwin have to be used.
