Answer 1

You can put the files in c:\putty but make sure that the location is in your path. Otherwise you will still have the same problem.

1. Right click on my computer
2. Click on properties
3. In the system properties window click on the advanced tab
4. In the advanced section click the environment variables button.
5. Highlight path and add what you need to your path variable.

Answer 2

pscp is the PuTTY Secure Copy program for Windows, analogous to scp on UNIX-type systems. It allows you to securely copy files using the SSH protocol.

Download the file from the link above, put it in your C:\Putty directory, and you should be good to go.

Answer 3

You should download all the file associated with putty not only "putty.exe" from the below link: A .ZIP file containing all the binaries (except PuTTYtel), and also the help files
