PSFTP PortableSubmitted by dark_yux on January 6, 2009 - 4:07pm
Program: PSFTP License: MIT ? (It's the same guy who made PuTTY and available on the same website.) Description: "PSFTP is an SFTP client, i.e. general file transfer sessions much like FTP" Website: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ It would help to have a command line FTP program I can't do that with PuTTY.

Two Workarounds
If you already have PuTTY installed, you can copy the psftp (and other p*exe) into the PuTTYPortable installation directory (PuTTYPortable/App/putty). It will run just fine.
Be aware:
The other p*.exe executables have not been made Portable. If they are looking into the registry (to use PuTTY session info, for example), that information will not be there unless you're running PuTTYPortable. I believe (but could be wrong...) that this also means that any executable (pageant?) that writes to the registry will not clean up after itself. It's possible (but I have not tested this!) that exiting PuTTYPortable will clean up after all the PuTTY programs, but you should test this yourself before using this on a machine you do not control.
FWIW, I have psftp installed, but use the Portable version of WinSCP. If you run PuTTY or PuTTYPortable, then run WinSCP, you can import your PuTTY sessions into WinSCP.
In a similar vein, I use PuTTYPortable to create tunnels, rather than plink.exe. I know PuTTYPortable will clean up after itself.
cmd ftp?
>It would help to have a command line FTP program I can't do that with PuTTY.<
but command line ftp is on every computer I met so far, well appart from dos/w3.1 or so, but otherwise every computer I met had ftp on it and could use it appart from the cases where the admin or even the provider did lock out ftp, well then any software will not help.
