FreePBX is just creating a tar file of asterisk config files and a mysql 
dump and some more config files. And I asume that it's this file you 
wan't to transport to the windows machine mentioned later in your 
original mail.

And you could use one of the addons in the putty package, PSCP (an SCP 
client, i.e. command-line secure file copy).

SCP is using SSH as transport so it's quite safe.
