need a volunteer

[Brent Harding]

Is there a way, in the event if isps wanted to use ssh and sftp that
windows users could access this? I know teraterm does it for ssh, but am
not sure what for the sftp, or pop3 behind ssh mechanism mentioned in some
howto about mail some where. The idea of that was so pop passwords were
sent through ssh instead of clear text.
