To copy is not a big problem. For example,
scp junk.f $DELL
(where DELL=dell03:/cygdrive/f/transit_ext)
will copy junk.f to a directory on a USB hard drive on remote host
dell03. Here I put the target directory in an environment variable so
that I don't have to retype it. I would like to be able to navigate to
the target directory on the remote filesystem without having to type
exact long pathnames (sftp allows no wildcards in the remote cd
command). I can do that with midnight commander on the remote system
drive /cygdrive/c, but not on the remote USB HDD /cygdrive/f
