SSH works on Windows as well as *nix. My configuration is a Linux server with Windows clients. I use the free SSH client called PuTTY.
Setting it all up was quite a bit of working since there was a dearth of information at the time (early 2002). There was little information of the Internet. The O'Reilly book on subject (SSH, The Secure Shell) helped a lot with the concepts but it took a lot of trial and error to set it up. Hopefully the situation is a lot more friendly these days. But once you set it up it works great. The Windows clients can access the SJ archives securely over the public Internet. We also access our POP email through the SSH tunnel instead of exposing port 110. We also have several web-based applications (SJ being one of them) that also get tunnelled through SSH so that we don't have to expose port 80 either.
