Hmm, wouldn't putty already be forbidden?
You could:
put a small cygwin install on your USB key
run an sshd, _listening only on localhost_ !! (not remotely
accessible)
do a _reverse_ portforward in Putty, forwarding the local sshd
service to your home machine
run sshfs at home, connecting to the forwarded sshd service
sshfs uses the SFTP protocol, so it should be happy.

Only if sshfs can't be made to work: sshfs is a better solution.
