I assume you want to move files from linux to windows.

there is one posibility from my experience:
[Yes] scp remotely from windows to remote linux
[No!] scp locally from linux to remote windows

Howto:
1) install git bash on your windows machine and then

2) fireup gitbash and scp transfer you file
$ scp.exe \
ubuntu at yourLinuxIpAddress:/home/ubuntu/a_large_file.raw \
  /C/Users/windowsUsername/Desktop/

there is also others possibility which is using rsync, but scp is simple 
for new user.

Have fun!
