    Hello Owdy and welcome to the forums

    I don't think Windows 7 supports sftp connections natively, so yes, you'll have to use a 3rd party program to do it.

    There's lots of tools available:

    WinSCP :: Free SFTP and FTP client for Windows
    PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client
    FileZilla - The free FTP solution

    Hope these are of use to you,

    You're most welcome :) Yeah, there's a sync feature built into WinSCP:

    Synchronize Files with FTP Server or SFTP Server :: WinSCP
