You can tunnel ftp through ssh between the windows clients and your server.
This is probably easier to accomplish with many different client apps than
trying to go for ftp w/ ssl, but (since I don't have any windows clients, so can
generally just use sftp/scp for my needs) I don't have first-hand knowledge
of this approach.
Take care,
