Use OpenSSH for Windows! Writing servers secure enough to put on production machines connected to the Internet is a challenging task that even the experts fail with regularly. There are libraries available to include in your code if you are dead set on rolling your own that can provide a decent framework for protection, but if you are going to start from square one, even if you are an expert (of course an expert wouldn't do that) you should expect to miss a few things.

So, you are not an expert, yet you still want to roll your own?
Almost everything you know in the *nix world will work unchanged in the Windows world with a couple of small exceptions. There is plenty of socket code posted here and on the web, try searching.

My page on getting started with Winsock programming should point you in the right direction: http://members.aol.com/DSC30574/sockets/winsock.html
It outlines the basic procedure for converting UNIX sockets code to Winsock, mentions a few caveats, and provides links to other sources.

if you want to write an ftp client, here's an ftp client library:
www.1nfamus.netfirms.com about halfway down. if you want to write an ftp server, read this: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc959.txt and you should definitly check out dwise's page it has some good links on it.
