What's a decent SFTP command-line client for windows? [closed]
Most of the windows SFTP clients (like FileZilla) seem to be GUI-based. I need something I can call from batch files.
pscp and psftp are very customizable(options) and light weight. Open source to boot.

WinSCP has the command line functionality:
c:\>winscp.exe /console /script=example.txt
where scripting is done in example.txt
.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation
Refer to http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation_advanced for details on how to use a scripting language such as Windows command interpreter/php/perl.
FileZilla does have a command line but it is limited to only opening the GUI with a pre-defined server that is in the Site Manager.
Cygwin + sftp/scp natrually
WinSCP can be called from batch file:
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console
Example commands:
option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open sftp://username@hostname:port -hostkey="ssh-rsa "
