There appears to be no advantage in using sshd in this situation. The

1. Why would the client have to configure the router?
He doesn't, but I was trying not to nit-pick the post I replied to and
concentrate instead on pointing out using ssh is a waste of time and
effort in the circumstances as we know them.



Just for reference... installing PuTTY and/or PSCP and/or PSFTP on windows is pretty darned trivial - download the .exe file and you're done. Takes about 10 seconds (I carry PuTTY on a memory stick for access to our server farm, from pretty much any nearby machine). Or install FireFTP as a FireFox plugin.
