You can install it on windows (google for cygwin sshd, moba-ssh, or windows openssh) too. Besides accessing it using a commandline ssh client or a GUI client like PuTTY, you can use it as an SCP/SFTP server with either a command line scp/sftp or using a GUI FTP program, many of which support SFTP. WinSCP is great, and can be downloaded in the form of a portable runnable .exe from its site (and it's great for FTP too). It can also be used to tunnel TCP and UDP ports securely. This means you can open a single port on your firewall for ssh, or forward a single port to your computer, and then have lots of programs communicate through your encrypted ssh session. I use it with VNC and RDP every day. ssh is great as described, and even better for so much more. You can install it on windows (google for cygwin sshd, moba-ssh, or windows openssh) too.
