'For somebody from a Windows environment' is precisely why I suggested he
look at FileZilla - its a GUI file transfer client that works with both
FTP and SFTP protocols. I think the OP has sshd running on his RPi (IIRC
he logs into his RPi from his W10 box), by using FileZilla he not only
has a reasonably familiar GUI interface but doesn't need to install
anything new on his RPi.
I've used FileZilla on a Linux host, so know how easy it is to use - not
dissimilar to gftp - which is another reason I namechecked it.
Personally, I prefer gftp to FileZilla, and have used Samba to move files
WinWin and WinLinux and settled on sftp rather than nfs for
LinuxLinux transfers because that and CVS suit me better, but that's
neither here nor there.
Note my caveat:
=============== If the OP is willing to use a file transfer tool rather
than remotely mounting the RPi FS on his W10 box then he should look for
an FTP client that can handle SFTP transfers.
