WIN SCP Download link

if you really want to use PSCP then to use pscp you will need to ensure you set path or command from putty folder where pscp.exe is i.e.

set PATH=C:\path\to\putty\directory;%PATH%

my set path was "set PATH=C:\Program Files\PuTTY;%pscp.exe% "

You don't need a pipeline, just use redirection:

 plink user@host <localfile "cat >hostfile"

This won't work (and neither will piping) if plink needs to prompt for a password; that means you must either:

• have pageant running with a suitable client key loaded

• use -i to specify an unencrypted client key (and an unencrypted key is usually a bad idea)

• use -pw to specify the host password (unless the host prohibits password logons for this user)
