Putty scp

Is there really a way to use putty for scp? This guide makes it seem like there is. I noticed I can use the scp command in any directory. It seems like it is a windows build in command.

If I try this I get this error message.

putty.exe scp user@11.99.36.172:/file .
Unable to open connection. Network error: cannot assign requested address.

Well reading your link it says:
**NOTE:** using Windows OS instead of the command "*scp* ", please use the "*pscp -scp* " one. (Putty SCP).

so your command line would be:

pscp -scp user@11.99.36.172:/file .

If I read correctly...
