Look at this example for instance :
You connect to server A with putty from your laptop L with intention to use scp to copy a file from Server A to Server B.
When connected to Server A, you initiate the scp command to Server B and it starts copying.
During the copying your laptop L experiences network problems and putty session disconnects from the server A effectively ending scp operation uncompleted.
This is where you can use screen (but also other various other tools) before scp-ing.
Connect with putty, run screen, start scp and detach the screen session.
Now you can close putty or experience problems with your laptop L while the screen session in active on Server A.
List the sessions with screen -ls
Attach the session with screen -dr <session from list>
Check out the manual for more advanced options like session logging and naming.
Hope that clears things out.
Regards
Peasant.
