Copying files from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux

Dear Sir-
I am very new to the Linux environment. I recently had Ubuntu Linux setup on my Windows machine. I want to copy files from Windows to Linux. I downloaded WinSCP from the web. However, I'm very ignorant in how to use it. I clicked on the Session's tag and it is requesting URL and port information. I don't know this information or how to get it. Furthermore, why do I need this if everything that I want to copy is on the same machine. If anyone can walk me through this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Newbie, but trying to learn!:)
