For Windows clients try the ssh extension to Teraterm at:

http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html

With the port-forwarding feature, I was able to use good old ws_ftp from the
Windows machine to connect securely to our Solaris server running openssh's
sshd. That should work for you.

Unfortunately for me, the federal agency I work for has declared its intention
to block all port 21 connections from outside starting next week. I don't know
if ssh's port forwarding will work anymore after that agency-wide block. Any
ideas?
