Hey @manitoberoi!

There are a few ways to transfer files from your local computer to your Linode server including using different file transfer programs or by utilizing a terminal application.

First, I would point you towards these guides written by our documentation team:

File Transfer Guides

If you're specifically using Windows, you can go with programs like Filezilla or WinSCP. Both of these programs offer a visual interface that allow you to drop and drag files between your Linode and your local machine (and vice versa).

If you'd rather go the terminal application route, the most commonly used terminal program for Windows is PuTTY. Once you've downloaded and installed PuTTY, I would recommend reviewing and playing around with this guide that reviews some basics of terminal use, included how to copy files between locations:

Using the Terminal

Hopefully this points you in the right direction!

Windows has a version of ssh that works in terminal windows:

For the most part, it's configured/operates like the one on Linux/BSD.

Is port 22 open through your firewall? Also, I found this:

There's some things to check listed there. I don't use FileZilla so I have no idea what your problem might be.
