The friendliest (but still very secure) solution I have found is WinSCP.
It is a nice and friendly Windows program with its own installer, where
they open it up and get two directory windows side-by-side (obviously,
one local and one remote). They then merely drag-and-drop from one side
to another.

Since all transport is over SSH, I feel happy. And it *is* easy. And I
get the pleasure of explaining to people that IE is a security nightmare
and that the best way of having their data cracked, lost, or stolen is
to use it. <grin>

Good results from several of my customers so far.

Cheers,
