Personally, I agree with Aly. If you check out putty,
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
There are free ssh / scp / sftp clients (Windows based). I've been using
putty
for about a year now, and it has some pretty (easy to use) tunnelling
features
as well.
I tunnel absolutely everything over SSH. Plaintext in general - is
obsolete :)
Food for thought.
