Transferring Files from Windows to Linux

I recently ran into an interesting situation. I needed to transfer some files
to two soon-to-be Linux web servers. These servers however, could not be
modified in any way other than transferring this file. In other words, I
couldn't install samba or ftp installed, right?).

After looking around, I found a program called
http://winscp.net[http://winscp.net/ winscp]] that will do just the trick.
Here's how it's done.

Head on over to http://winscp.net[http://winscp.net/] and download the
appropriate files (I downloaded the portable executable because I didn't want
to install).

After you've done that, load up winscp and you should see a window looking
like...

Fill in your hostname, ip address, username, and password and hit enter.  That
should take you to a window looking something like...

After that, simply drag and drop your files from the left to the right, or vice
versa.
