You could also test Bitvise Tunnelier, a great SSH client with an excellent SFTP GUI.

Subject: Transferring directory structure to Windows

We're migrating a lot of files from an AIX 4.3.3 server to a Windows
server.
On the AIX box, each file will be in its own directory, all of which are
subdirectories of one main directory.

Now, an ftp "mget *" would get all of the files, but it won't preserve
the
directory structure. Since some of the files may have duplicate names
this
won't do. Is there any way I can copy an entire directory structure
with
readily available tools? (I don't have time to obtain anything new.)
best
thing I can come up with so far is to tar them up and ftp that to the
Windows box, then use WinZip to extract the data, although I'm not sure
what
that'll do to the directory structure. Or I could install a zip utility
from the AIX Toolbox: not sure if there's any advantage to that.

There's quite a lot of data involved, and many thousands of files.

Any suggestions appreciated.
