ftp is cli tool in Windoof. Pretty simple. It even has a rudimentary help.
SAMBA might not suit as it sounds like you might be remoting through the
internet.
Another alternative is to upload the file to a webserver you control. I
normally just use a free email account. There's one mob that give you
GBs of free storage space (even if you only ever use it for file storage).

Well it won't. It's *nix thing. Hence the Putty suggestion.

Does that mean email solves your problem?
I probably should of suggested you create a single use webmail account
(from Debian) then login to *that* account in the remote session -
attach the pdf to an email and send it to your normal email account.
That way you're not exposing a password that matter to an untrusted machine.
