'winscp' is not 'command line'.

it has a very friendly user-interface, two panels open side-by-side, 
one to your local stuff, the other to the remote stuff. use mouse 
clicks and keyboarding to shuffle stuff around. 

it's like an old program I used to use, I believe 'Norton Utilities'? 
or 'mc' in Linux.

I may have misunderstood something, what do you mean by 'load'? I 
don't think one can start a program on the remote via 'winscp'; is 
this what you want? samba doesn't do that either.

sorry, I may have missed something important.
