On the other hand I would be very surprised if ssh is not installed, you could use a different client in wondows that supports sftp such as FileZilla - The free FTP solution and use a secure ftp session without installing any more software.
Yes, you are right that ssh is installed. I've set up rsa and dsa keys using ssh-keygen -t rsa and ssh-keygen -t dsa so that I can ssh between two vm nodes without needing to enter a password and that is working correctly.

I downloaded FileZilla and tried to sftp but I'm still having no luck. I've played around with this for hours now, and I'm not even sure if I'm doing the keys correctly or if I'm just mixing apples and oranges and maybe don't even need the keys for sftp at all.

I used a program called puttygen to generate the keys for my pc and then I made an ISO image and mounted it as the dvd drive so I could copy the public keys into the authorized_files (since I don't know another way to get the files there until I can get ftp/sftp working) . From the man pages, it sounds like if I just use 'rsa' and 'dsa' as my types in 'ssh-keygen -t xxx' then I am generating rsa2 and dsa2 keys. However, I tried ssh-2 rsa keys (1024 bit and then 2048 bit) and I tried ssh-1 rsa keys and I tried ssh-2 dsa keys and well, I'm just stumped.

I was wondering if I need to change the format of the key text generated in Windows as the format doesn't match the other entries in authorized_files so I played around with that a bit but still no luck. I did make sure that the key was one continuous line because when I tried the dsa key, it had line breaks which I removed.

And I did remember to use the corresponding private key file in FileZilla by pointing it to the appropriate .ppk file under settings.

But always...

SIMPLEFTP(1)						    InterNetNews Documentation						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp url [...]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.	It takes one or more FTP
       URLs on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
       as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

       The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:

	   ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file

BUGS

       simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.	It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
       <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package.	Its shortcomings as a general
       purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
       same name in the local directory.

HISTORY

       Tossed off by David C Lawrence <tale@isc.org> for InterNetNews.	Rewritten to use "Net::FTP" by Julien Elie.
