It can take a bit of work to setup, but I prefer OpenSSH under cygwin.  This
way you get command-line scp too

www.cygwin.com

Alternatively, I've had good experiences with the freeware, semi-supported
SSH-capable version of Teraterm:

As well as the not-so-free software AlphaCom by OmniCom.

though the scrollback buffer is nonexistent, the console emulation is
top-notch.

Finally, others have recommended the java-based MindTerm to me, but I have
never been much of a fan. http://www.oit.duke.edu/sa/security/ssh.html

if you still want SCP, without the overhead of cygwin, try winSCP, available
here:
