If you are on windows, and connect using putty, I assume you have ssh access. Try using winscp to connect if you need to get a file to/from the system.

You can also use cmd (MS Dos) to transfer file through ftp. I normally use ftp for this purpose.

run cmd and run the below commands on it.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. cd <directory path where your source file is located.>
  2. ftp <aix server name/ip address>
  3. <give user id and password>
  4. cd <directory path where you want to put the file>
  5. put <file name>
  6. bye
  7. exit
