    8 I recently ran into an interesting situation. I needed to transfer some files
    9 to two soon-to-be Linux web servers. These servers however, could not be
   10 modified in any way other than transferring this file. In other words, I
   11 couldn't install samba or ftp installed, right?).
   12 
   13 After looking around, I found a program called
   14 http://winscp.net[http://winscp.net/ winscp]] that will do just the trick.
   15 Here's how it's done.
   16 
   17 Head on over to http://winscp.net[http://winscp.net/] and download the
   18 appropriate files (I downloaded the portable executable because I didn't want
   19 to install).
   20 
   21 After you've done that, load up winscp and you should see a window looking
   22 like...
   23 
   24 image:files/Winscp01.jpg[height=300]
   25 
   26 Fill in your hostname, ip address, username, and password and hit enter.  That
   27 should take you to a window looking something like...
   28 
   29 image:files/Winscp02.jpg[height=400]
   30 
   31 After that, simply drag and drop your files from the left to the right, or vice
   32 versa.
