Usage

Remote into other System

Open the PuTTY program. Once it is open you will enter the IP address for the system you are trying to access in the Host Name box. Select the connection type as SSH, and use port 22. Press open. You will have to authenticate, and then you will be in.

Send file to another System

To send a file to another system you will open a new CMD window and navigate to the PuTTY install directory. My command... cd C:\Program Files\PuTTY. Once you have successfully navigated to the installation directory you will enter the command to send a file. pscp.exe <LocalFilePath> <user>@<RemoteHost>:<RemoteDirectory>. You will once again have to authenticate.
