I have two w2k machines on a peer to peer TCP/IP network hung off a linux
firewall box on a university network. (the firewall allows SSH in and out.)

Using SSH, I would like to be able to place and retrieve files to and from
these two w2k machines from home.

I believe I have to set up some kind of SSH service on at least one of the
w2k machines. Could anyone point me to which MS services I have to run to
be able to do this and if I need to get any other software apps. (Hopefully
free...)

(I am really only interested in having secure file transfer capability to
and from these machines)

Look at OpenSSH. This will run on Windows under Cygwin. I don't know
of any other free solution.

I've not looked for a commercial solution, so I've no idea. I suggest
you try Google. You may be able to do what you wish with VPN and SSL.
