To copy files recursively with the psftp, use the get or the mget with the -r (recurse) switch.

For example:

get -r /remote/path C:\local\path

See:

Or as @jbarnett suggested, you can use the SCP. PuTTY has an SCP client too, the pscp:

pscp -r [email protected]:/remote/path C:\local\path

See https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/htmldoc/Chapter5.html#pscp

You can use scp. (example) scp -r user@remote:/path/to/folder /home/user/Desktop/
