Right, you would need SSH as well if you wanted to pipe it through SSH/SFTP.

I use an S3 target, ie : -r s3:http://minio:9000/bucket as my target, with environment variables containing the authentication credentials.

Why putty?

Does winscp provide SFTP? (I dont use it, so dont know). You might be able to use -o sftp.command=winscp ?
