I tried that and still get the same error... it does not seem to recognize that C: is a drive on my machine.

I don't know what sshd is, but this could be why it is not working!!! I usually use FileZilla, but I noticed that using Putty (ssh) to upload large files instead of FileZilla was noticeably faster, and I wanted to see if it was faster when downloading as well! But if you can't do it, then it is definitely not faster!
you connect to a unix machine over the sshd (secure shell daemon). this is the service that handles the remote (ssh with putty) login. also it handles the scp (secure copy) protocol...
