There are some windows FTP clients that support SFTP iirc, you'll need
ssh >= ~2.3.0 on the server side to make it work (guess building from
source from woody on potato works). Don't use the sftp package from
potato, it's protocol is different from the ssh one afaik.
(ssh-2.9p2 compiled for potato is available from
http://alm.linuxfreak.nl/blub/ssh_2.9p2-4_i386.deb, you'll need
libssl095a from
http://debian.jones.dk/debian/local/pool/potato/woody/openssl/
too)
