The above connection methods do not allow you to transfer files onto and off the VirtualRDC compute nodes. To do so, you will need a client capable of SFTP (or SCP, an older protocol) transfers. For Windows users, the simplest software to use is the free WinSCP client (see above for download links, in Section 1.3). Download and install the client software.
Connection using the WinSCP client is simple, and very similar to the PuTTY software. Once connected, depending on the initial interface chosen, you either have a two-pane window or a single-pane window. If using the single-pane window, you simply drag-and-drop remote files onto your desktop as you would between two Windows Explorer windows. If using the two-pane window, you transfer files by drag-and-drop between the two panes. More details are available on the WinSCP Getting Started Page.
