Most of the windows SFTP clients (like FileZilla) seem to be GUI-based. I need something I can call from batch files.
pscp and psftp are very customizable(options) and light weight. Open source to boot.
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
WinSCP has the command line functionality:
c:\>winscp.exe /console /script=example.txt
where scripting is done in example.txt.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation
Refer to http://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_automation_advanced for details on how to use a scripting language such as Windows command interpreter/php/perl.
FileZilla does have a command line but it is limited to only opening the GUI with a pre-defined server that is in the Site Manager.
Cygwin + sftp/scp natrually
WinSCP can be called from batch file:
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console
Example commands:
option batch on
option confirm off
option transfer binary
open sftp://username#hostname:port -hostkey="ssh-rsa "
www.bitvise.com - sftpc is a good command line client also.
LFTP is great, however it is Linux only. You can find the Windows port here. Never tried though.
Achtunq, it uses Cygwin, but everything is included in the bundle.
bitvise tunnelier works really well
This little application does the job for me. I could not find another CLI based client that would access my IIS based TLS/SSL secured ftp site:
http://netwinsite.com/surgeftp/sslftp.htm
Filezilla is great and it can support command line arguments.

Switching from programming on Mac to windows, and I need to access github. Don't know where to submit bash commands in order to clone my repositories.
I made the switch last year and I actually don't mind using Windows since I found some nice tools.
This is the best terminal I have found used yet: http://bliker.github.io/cmder/

The great thing is you can use UNIX commands as well. You can even do something such as:
vim run.bat
to edit a batch file.
The closest built-in equivalent is cmd.exe. It is, however, not a bash shell: the command set is very different.
If you specifically need bash, you could install Cygwin.
If you're going the command line way for git access, you're probably looking for msys git: https://msysgit.github.io/

We have a legacy system that uses the Windows FTP client with some FTP script files to manipulate files over FTP. We've found the Windows FTP client to be fairly unreliable though in regards to error handling - for example if it can't connect to the remote site it doesn't even return an error code from the commandline. And sometimes it just seems to hang altogether if the connection to the FTP server goes down midway through a file transfer.
So we're looking for an alternative. Is there a script-able commandline FTP client for Windows that will handle the existing FTP script files (written for the Windows FTP client) out of the box, but with improved error handling?
I'm not sure what your activities are surrounding your FTP usage, but if it's a build web app local and deploy to server type activities, you could try CruiseControl: http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/
This might be a good replacement for FTP scripts if you're concerned about error handling.
Look up "MOVEit Freely". It's primary role is a drop-in replacement for ftp.exe to handle FTP/S, but it may also have the better behavior you're looking for.

is there a good and comfortable ssh terminal emulation for Windows?
I want to connect to a ubuntu server and work remotely like i can do
with ssh -Y . I am currently using cygwin for this, but it takes up a
lot of space and it lacks some features that would be nice.
tl,dr:
I am looking for a terminal client for windows, that
- does Ssh with Xserver - grafical
- copies files ( works as a ssh client like winssh )
- basically behaves as if i sat before the (ubuntu) computer
I think what you're looking for is VNC and not ssh.
http://www.tightvnc.com/
Reading your requirements, you could consider running cygwin, that will give you the ability to run some Linux programs in Windows, including xterm. As a bonus, you can use bash instead of the normal windows shell.
For SSH you can use putty. To copy files there's WinSCP. To run X programs there's any number of X servers for Windows, like Xming or Exceed. You might also want to use VNC to connect to an existing X session (you need to run a VNC server on your Ubuntu computer and a VNC client on Windows). These are all very different and cannot replace one another.

I noticed in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIxDJof7xxQ - that Ian uses a text editor that enables maintaining a FTP connection. Whenever he saves the text-file (which is a HTML file in his case), that update gets sent to the server automatically. I would love to be able to do that.
As for now I use Notepad++ in which I predominately create HTML and JavaScript text files. My machine is Windows 7. I have a web-hosting account (ASP.net) for my domains, which also includes a FTP account, of course.
I am looking for a lightweight text-editor that enables the functionality which can be seen in the above video - I want to be able to open a text-file (remotely via FTP), edit it, and then just hit CTRL+S to send the updated version to the remote server via FTP.
The Zeus Lite editor does seamless FTP editing.
Doesn't Notepad++ have a plug-in for this? I think I noticed that a while back...
Not quite what you're looking for, the FileZilla FTP client will detect that the file being edited has been modified and prompts you to upload it (maybe that can be made automatic also).
Vim can do this, using the ftp plugin.
http://www.vim.org/
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1075
Notepad++ is the editor you are looking for. I use it all the time to edit files on LAMP servers with FTP
under plugins open nppftp and click show, and the command interface for the ftp engine will appear.

is it possible to run FileZilla client via command line and be able to set server name, user, password, FTP protocol (e.g. FTPES, SFTP), port number? i looked online and can't seem to be able to find any such command. also, i am using windows 7, i am not sure if that somehow has a smaller set of commands. thanks.
You can use some command-line arguments for FileZilla, but as far as i know, it's principally a GUI FTP client.
Otherwise, Windows have a bundled command line FTP client (FTP.exe)
The Windows Command-Line FTP Client
List of FTP commands for the Microsoft command-line FTP client
You can use ncftpput. ncftpput supports command-line file upload and it has other commands.
ex: ncftpget, ncftpls, and support auto create file folder.
