For Windows users, WinSCP is a very nice transfer client.

Note that you need not use port 22. You can configure the server to listen 
on any available port. If an exploit in ssh turns up, this slows down the 
script kiddies in finding your server, as they first have to port-scan for 
a port that looks like an ssh server, and it's easier just to look for 
another server using the default.
