pscp.exe filename.extension [email protected]:directory/subdirectory

Pscp exe is painfully slow    Uploading files using WinSCP is like 10 times faster   So  to do that from command line  first you got to add the winscp com file to your  PATH   It s not a top-level domain  but an executable  com file  which is located in your WinSCP installation directory   Then just issue a simple command and your file will be uploaded much faster putty ever could   WinSCP com  command  open sftp   username password example com 22   put your large file zip  var www somedirectory    exit    And make sure your check the synchronize folders feature  which is basically what rsync does  so you won t ever want to use pscp exe again   WinSCP com  command  help synchronize
