well, for my ssh needs i use PuTTY, an wonderful little ssh-client that
does everything i'd need ssh to do from a windows computer.  the author
also has written pscp, which is a command line equivalent of scp, and
psftp, which is a command line equivalent of sftp.

alternatively, there's the cygwin package:

any windows user who wants a little more power out of their MS box
ought to take a look at this.  the core of the package is a .dll
library that serves as a wrapper for a number of libc calls.  there
are all kinds of packages available (bash, ssh, rsync, cron, gcc, 
et c.), and installing them is as simple as checking boxes.
