Launch Putty, put the IP address of your node and make sure SSH is select and the proper port.  Normally 22 or 8022.  Its normally a good idea to not use 22.

If your getting old (like me) I need a bigger font.  Click on Appearance and change to 14.  don't forget to go back to session and save.

3. After login click Yes here (Only needed to do once) which add the key to your system.

Your PC to the left and the node to the right.  Just double click on the .. on the right hand side to back up a folder and select where you want to go.  I always save my data in /temp (which is temporary! so it will get cleaned).  You just drag and drop files.  Fairly simple.
