That's not a verbatim copy, is it?  If it is you either need to make it
pscp d:\Web_pages\New_Webstuff\*.html johndurh at ubuntu:Website/modecideas.com/.
on the receiving end, or add a slash before home, like so:
pscp d:\Web_pages\New_Webstuff\*.html
johndurh at ubuntu:/home/johndurh/Website/modecideas.com/.

> Do the file permissions need altering for this to work?
Shouldn't be necessary - they get set by the login-account on the
linux-box.
