PuTTY is awesome if you're stuck on Windows! (Well, a cygwin X session 
has it's obvious merits as well, but copying text from notepad to X 
isn't one of them).

Unfortunatly I have to say that I know a few who _are_ technical and 
very apt windows users but they couldn't figure out pscp or psftp... 
They wanted CuteFTP to work because despite their prowess in DOS with 
.bat files, they had issues using a CLI copy/ftp client. I still don't 
know if I should file it under lazy or stubborn or what.
