(0t) SSH cp (copy help)

Hi, I'm on a win2k pro machine and need to copy a modified httpd.conf file to my linux box, I dont really know much about SSH and just learned a bit with my pals help (google) I am able to navigate around the directories, get a directory listing and delete...am unable to copy files from my harddisk for some reason.... I am using PUTTY to connect. This is what I have tried: the file is located in my c:\ I tried using cp c:\filename and also cp c:filename /remote/path/ and also cp c:filename /remote/path/samefilename and also cp filename /remote/path/ etc without any luck. how do i copy it? Thanks, -Ryan
