However, if your windows user is not particularly command line savvy, you may want to recommend to them to use a GUI ftp program that supports ssh/sftp. I think filezilla does and there are others. Alternatively, depending on what software he is using to do the development work, WebDAV might be a better option. It can be made to work transparently with many popular tools and is also supported nateviley in Windows (though MS calls it "web folders" in Windows).
Since WebDAV is an extension to the HTTP, it will also work nicely over SSL, which meets your requirements for security. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
