"well windows didn't have an ssh implementation for using scp until very recently. "
But it supports https which is more firewall friendly...You can use Powershell to copy files from the command line - for instance:
Invoke-Command -UseSSL -SessionOption MyServerName {get-content -encoding byte -readcount 0 "C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe" } -Credential $cred |Set-Content -Encoding byte c:\temp\foooooooo.exe
