michael's openssh for windows

I'd prefer not to start a new thread, but I've been searching for the 
past few hours with no luck.

I needed a fast way to set up sftp on a winXP box, so I did a little 
google search and found lexa.mckenna.edu/sshwindows/ had a clean and 
easy way of doing this.
I changed the regestry setting "/home" to a different drive, and the 
passwd file's entry form :/home/USERNAME: to :/home: so when my "auts 
ex-uncle" wants to login to my sftp server, they can't browse my windows 
directory structure.

However, when my "aunts ex-uncle" realizes he can also ssh into the box, 
I don't want him running "windows" commands such as cmd, nbtstat, dir 
etc.  I just want to "limit" him to what is available in /bin I guess.

Am I going about this wrong?  Is there a cygwin/openssh implemenation 
that "stands alone" from windows so I could set up a sftp server much 
like a normal ftp server?

Thanks in advance,
Johnny
